code seems not to be working now have mutiple errors even though code is right.

error says that cannot asign value to fibal variable characterName this.characterName = characterName;

14 errors

class PezDispenser{ //declare new constant variable public static final int MAX_PEZ = 12;

//private variable accessible only class final private String characterName; private int pezCount;

//fill pez dispenser
public void fill (){
  pezCount = MAX_PEZ;
}
public boolean dispense() {
  boolean wasDispensed = false;
  if(!isEmpty()) {
    pezCount--;
    wasDispensed = true
  }
     return wasDispensed;

public boolean isEmpty() {
  return pezCount == 0; 
}

//initialise the characterName variable
public PezDispenser(String characterName) {
  this.characterName = characterName;
  pezCount = 0;
}


public String getCharacterName (){
  return characterName;

}
//check status of pez
