Two error codes on creating class

Hello, this is actually a really simple fix where something small was forgotten, be sure to add a "," after you're formatted sentence, so it should look something below.

System.out.printf("The dispenser character is %s\n", dispenser.mCharacterName); 

Noelle;

When you create your new PezDispenser object, are you passing in a value? I believe the code in the video has:

PezDispenser dispenser = new PezDispenser("Yoda");

Unless you overloaded the PezDispenser() method to give it a default value, that could be the source of your error messages.

The code is still not working I have rewritten it multiple times using these suggestions, but the console still refuses to run the code.

Unfortunately, no. The workspace is now giving an error that says: (reached end of file while parsing) and the little arrow points to the space right after the bracket to close the code

The bracket is fixed now, but it still doesn't matter whether I use getCharacterName, or mCharacterName the console won't recognize the period between dispenser and whichever one I use.

I would echo what Rob said about posting your code and also what your current error message(s) is/are. If you are continuing to get Illegal Start of Expression errors you probably are missing a closing bracket elsewhere in your code that is defining a method inside another method. That doesn't make Java happy. Another option for the error might be designating a method variable public when it should be a local variable, that sort of thing.

Post your code and we'll have a look.

Happy coding,

Ken

okay here is the code I'm working with for the PezDispenser. java file

     public class PezDispenser {
  public String mcharacterName = "Yoda";
} 

and for the Example. java file

      public class Example {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Your amazing code goes here...
        System.out.println("We are a making a new Pez Dispenser.");
        PezDispenser dispenser = new PezDispenser() ;
        System.out.printf("The dispersenser character is %s\n",  
                          dispenser.mCharacterName);
    }
}  ```

In your PezDispenser.java try changing the line to

mCharacterName instead of mcharacterName;

I think this might have been just a typo.

It should look something like

     public class PezDispenser {
  public String mCharacterName = "Yoda";
} 

Let me know what it says after that.

Thanks.
