Hi Thomas,

It creates a new PezDispenser object, passing "Yoda" into the constructor. This new object is then stored in a variable named dispenser which is of type PezDispenser

This is how i understood this concept:

PezDispenser dispenser = new PezDispenser ("Yoda");

Imagine [Y]ou're a boss of a company. You're sitting in your office drinking whiskey on the rocks. You were thinking about a new project lately, so you call your best [E]mployee. Here's your dialogue. [Y]: Hey, do you remember how to create PezDispensers? [E]: Yeah, sure, what about it? [Y]: Create one for me, let's call it dispenser. [E]: Allrighty boss! But you know, everytime we create those, we have to write something on it! What should I do with this one? [Y]: Let's make "Yoda" on it. [E]: Cool, I'll be right back after i finish.
