Cannot find symbol error - PezDispenser

I am getting the following error message in my PezDispenser class but I can't see what is wrong - ./PezDispenser.java:12: error: cannot find symbol
pezCount = MAX_PEZ;
^
symbol: variable MAX_PEZ
location: class PezDispenser
1 error

Here's the snapshot of my code - https://w.trhou.se/hwn50qlih8

Hi there,

You've called your constant MAX_PEX at the top, but then tried using MAX_PEZ.

Hi Steve,

Thank you! I looked over it for ages, not sure how I didn't spot that!

Cheers,

Andrew

We all do it! Staring at obvious errors and not seeing them is pretty standard, for me! :+1: :smile:
