REPL problem

java> :load PezDispenser.java
Loaded source file from PezDispenser.java
java> PezDispenser pd = new PezDispenser("Yoda");
ERROR: cannot find symbol
symbol: class PezDispenser
location: interface Evaluation

I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I'm following the video exactly and I can't go forward.

Try to compile your program outside the REPL:

javac PezDispenser.java

And see if you get a syntax error. Unfortunately the REPL is not the best at sharing errors.
