This is my code:

System.out.println("We are making a new Pez Dispenser.");
PezDispenser dispenser = new PezDispenser("Yoda");
System.out.printf("The dispenser character is %s\n",
dispenser.getCharacterName());
if (dispenser.isEmpty()) {
System.out.println("It is currently empty");
}

if (!dispenser.isEmpty()) {
System.out.println("It is no longer empty");
}

System.out.println("Ate all the PEZ!");
}
}
}
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; }

Java Web Development Techdegree Graduate 22,175 PointsYou have typo in getCharaterName() method name in PezDispencer class. You call getChara*c*terName, whereas it is defined as getCharaterName.
