Jshell Error: Cannot Find symbol "Variable MAX_PEZ"

I am not able to find the variable (MAX_PEX) in jshell from the PezDispenser class Instance.

Code:

class PezDispenser{

public final int MAX_PEZ = 12; final private String characterName;

public PezDispenser(String characterName) { this.characterName = characterName; }

public String getCharacterName() { return characterName;

}

}

Jshell:

jshell> /open PezDispenser.java; jshell> PezDispenser pd = new PezDispenser("Yoda"); pd ==> PezDispenser@4c70fda8 jshell> pd.MAX_PEZ;

Following error displayed Error:
| cannot find symbol
| symbol: variable MAX_PEZ
| pd.MAX_PEZ;
| ^--------^

Code was saved before executing Jshell. Can anyone help me with this error?

I executed "/open PezDispenser.java " command again and then created a new object from PezDispenser class and then i was able to access the fields of the class i.e (int MAX_PEZ)

This issue is fixed now!.
