In the video just seen, if the string mCharacterName is public, then we do not have to go through the method getCharacteName(). In which case, can we not access the name of the pezDispenser object, dispenser, using the dispenser.characterName function(from the constructor) in the print statement ?? I tried it but it didnt work.

1,420 PointsWhen I compile ann.java (code shown below), I get the following error message:
location: variable person1 of type person
ann.java:11: error: cannot find symbol
console.printf("the name is %s %s",person1.name, person1.wage);
^
symbol: variable wage
location: variable person1 of type person
2 errors
public class person { public String mname; public int age;
public person(String name,int wage) // this is the constructor { mname=name; age=wage; } }
import java.io.Console; public class ann { public static void main(String[]args) { Console console=System.console(); person person1=new person("bob",65); console.printf("my name is%s and age is %s", person1.name, person1.wage); } }

2,103 PointsIt looks like you are using the wrong var names. name and wage are the params you are passing in, but the object has 'mname' and 'age' person1.mname will give you what you are looking for.
