public class PezDispenser {
  public static final int MAX_PEZ = 12;
  private String mCharacterName;
  private int mPezCount;

  public PezDispenser(String CharacterName) {
   mCharacterName = CharacterName; 
    mPezCount = 0;
  }
  public boolean dispense() {
   boolean wasDispensed = false;
    if(!isEmpty()){
      mPezCount--;
      wasDispensed = true;
    }
    return wasDispensed;  
  }

   public boolean isEmpty() {
    return mPezCount == 0; 
   }
  public void load() {
    load(MAX_PEZ);
  }

  public void load(int pezAmount) {
    int newAmount = mPezCount + pezAmount;
      if (newAmount > MAX_PEZ); {
      throw new IllegalArgumentException("Too many PEZ!!!");
      }
    mPezCount = newAmount;
  }

  public String getCharacterName(){
   return mCharacterName; 
  }
}
