Println not working.

For some reason my code won't print the println's on the lines 17, 25, and 32. Any ideas what the issue it is? Here is a link to a screenshot of the workspace.

Caleb,

I think it is because of your load method. 

    public void load(int pezAmount) {
    int newAmount = mPezCount + pezAmount; //you place a new amount into a local variable inside this method
    if (newAmount > MAX_PEZ) {    //mPezCount never increases; therefore, is never full
      throw new IllegalArgumentException("To many Pez!!");
    }
  }

  //the following seems to work:

     public void load(int pezAmount) {
        mPezCount = mPezCount + pezAmount;
        if (mPezCount > MAX_PEZ) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("To many Pez!!");
        }
     }

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Chris

Thanks for the help. My issue was I forgot to assign mPezCount to newAmount. It works now!
