Hi

I have an error on line 17 . Can't see what is wrong with it. Keeps saying that it does not recognise the ! symbol in: if (!isEmpty()) {

class PezDispenser{ public static final int MAX_PEZ = 12; final private String characterName; private int pezCount;

public PezDispenser (String characterName) { this.characterName = characterName; pezCount = 0; }

public void fill() { pezCount = MAX_PEZ; }

public boolean dispense() { boolean wasDispensed = false;
if (!isEmpty()) { pezCount--; wasDispensed = true; } return wasDispensed; }

I also have another error on line 23: if (dispenser.isEmpty()) {

public class Example {

public static void main(String[] args) { // Your amazing code goes here... System.out.println("We are making a new Pez dispenser"); System.out.printf("FUN FACT: Thereare %d PEZ Dispenser %n", PezDispenser.MAX_PEZ); PezDispenser dispenser = new PezDispenser("Yoda"); System.out.printf("The dispenser is %s %n" , dispenser.getCharacterName() ); if (dispenser.isEmpty()) { System.out.println("Dipenseris empty"); } System.out.println("Filling the dispenser with delicious PEZ..."); dispenser.fill(); if (!dispenser.isEmpty()) { System.out.println("Dispenser is full"); } while (dispenser.dispense()) { System.out.println("Chomp!"); } if (dispenser.isEmpty()) { System.out.println("Ate all the PEZ"); } } }
