wait what? What does this mean?

I don't think I understand why I am getting this error message.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: PezDispenser.<init>(Ljava/lang/String;)V
at Example.main(Example.java:6)

Here is the code I think its referring to;

public class Example {

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

}

}

Looks like you have problem in PezDispenser class.

Could you post it ?

The error says that there is no constructor with one argument, that is Strting

public class PezDispenser {
   // system cannot find constructor below 
   public PezDispenser(String string) {
      // some code
   }
}

Also since you are clearly using Workspaces. Please Fork a Workspace and share a link here.

That is the fastest and easiest way to find a problem.

If you don't know how to fork a workspace, please watch this very short video that will show you how to do it
