What is happening in min 2:20?

I'm a true beginner with java and after we decide to make a new PezDispenser, in min 2:20 a new line just appears "PezDispenser pd = PezDispenser@ed32a6b". What does that line mean? I can't seem to achieve that on my console. I tried just typing it in but I get an error "java.until.NoSuchElementException." Any help greatly appreciated.

That line is just the repl confirming that a new PezDispenser object was created, with "ed32a6b" being its location in memory. You'll never have to write anything like that, as the "new" keyword finds a location in memory for you. To reference that PezDispenser, you just need to use the variable name.

Thank you! that clears it up for me. Also, I was able to get that line appear for me after reloading the workspace and trying again. For some reason that wasn't happening before.
