Every time I compile this specific chunk of code in the console it says that System.out.print(lnl/f) is incorrect. It may be easier if you see the error script:
Example.java:7: error: '(' or '[' expected
System.out.printf("The dispenser character is %s\n"'
^
Example.java:7: error: illegal start of expression
System.out.printf("The dispenser character is %s\n"'
^
Example.java:7: error: ';' expected
System.out.printf("The dispenser character is %s\n"'
^
Example.java:7: error: illegal line end in character literal
System.out.printf("The dispenser character is %s\n"'
^
Example.java:7: error: '(' or '[' expected
System.out.printf("The dispenser character is %s\n"'
^
Example.java:7: error: illegal start of expression
System.out.printf("The dispenser character is %s\n"'
^
Example.java:7: error: ';' expected
System.out.printf("The dispenser character is %s\n"'
^
Example.java:7: error: illegal line end in character literal
System.out.printf("The dispenser character is %s\n"'
^
Example.java:8: error: not a statement
Example.java:7: error: '(' or '[' expected
System.out.printf("The dispenser character is %s\n",
^
Example.java:7: error: illegal start of expression
System.out.printf("The dispenser character is %s\n",
^
Example.java:7: error: ';' expected
System.out.printf("The dispenser character is %s\n",
^
Here is the code
public class Example {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("We are making a new Pez Dispenser.\n");
PezDispenser dispenser = new PezDispenser
System.out.printf("The dispenser character is %s\n",
character.mCharacterName);
}
}
