773 PointsMy Example.java isn't running, giving me errors.
here is my code for Example.java
public class Example {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Your amazing code goes here...
System.out.println("We are a making a new Pez Dispenser."); PezDispenser dispenser = new PezDispenser("Yoda"); System.out.printf("The dispenser character is %s\n", dispenser.getCharracterName()); if(dispenser.isEmpty()) { System.out.println("It is currently empty"); } System.out.println("Loading....."); dispenser.load(); if(!dispenser.isEmpty()){ System.out.println("It is no longer empty "); } while(dispenser.dipense()) { System.out.println("chomp!");
}
if(dispenser.isEmpty()) {
System.out.println("Ate all the PEZ!");}
}
dispenser.load(4); dispenser.load(2); while(dispenser.dipense()) { System.out.println("chomp!");
}
}
whenever i try to run Example.java it gives me this message.
System.out.println("chomp!");
^
Example.java:28: error: illegal start of type
System.out.println("chomp!");
^
Example.java:32: error: class, interface, or enum expected
}

Please try my code and remember to copy class PezDispenser into different file as in video course:
public class Example {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("We are making new Pez Dispenser");
PezDispenser dispenser = new PezDispenser("Yoda");
System.out.printf("Character name is %s\n",dispenser.getCharacterName());
System.out.println(PezDispenser.MAX_PEZ);
if (dispenser.isEmpty()) {
System.out.println("It is currently empty");
}
System.out.println("Loading...");
dispenser.load();
if (!dispenser.isEmpty()){
System.out.println("It is no longer empty");
}
}
}
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 isEmpty(){ return mPezCount ==0; }
public void load(){ mPezCount = MAX_PEZ; }
public String getCharacterName(){
return mCharacterName;
}
}
