Methods and Constants question relating to repl: Where is the mistake?

Hey everyone. I am going wrong somewhere whilst following along with the video on Methods and Constants in Workspace.

My code is:

public class PezDispenser { public final int MAZ_PEZ = 12; private String mCharacterName;

public PezDispenser(String characterName) { mCharacterName = characterName; }

public String getCharacterName() { return mCharacterName; } }

When I type: load PezDispenser.java

in the console once hava-repl is loaded, I get the following response:

ERROR: not a statement
load PezDispenser.java;
^

ERROR: ';' expected
load PezDispenser.java;
^
ERROR: not a statement
load PezDispenser.java;
^
java>

As far as I can see I've done exactly the same as the tutorial. Where is my error?

Thanks, Damon
