Pez, Example. java won't compile. Reached end of file while parsing.

Followed along in the example pez dispenser all the way to the end and I keep getting the error message reached end of file while parsing which is usually fixed by adding a bracket but nothing works.

public class Example {

public static void main(String[] args) {
    // Your amazing code goes here...
  System.out.println(" We are making a brand new Pez Dispenser.");

  PezDispenser dispenser = new PezDispenser();
  System.out.printf ("The dispenser character is %s\n", dispenser.getCharacterName());

  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.dispense()) {
    System.out.println ("Chomp!");
  }

  if (dispenser.isEmpty()) {
    System.out.println ("Ate all the pez");

  }

You're missing a curly brace at the end of the file. That error is almost always caused by mistakes in matching curly braces.

Tip: You can save a snapshot of your workspace and share the link to it so people can view your complete files in workspace without you having to copy/paste a bunch of code. It should be one of the 3 or so icons in the top right of your workspace. When others are viewing your snapshot they can also edit your code and compile and run the program. (it only saves changes client-side)
