java> :load PezDispenser.java
Loaded source file from PezDispenser.java
java> PezDispenser pd = new PezDispenser("Yoda");
PezDispenser pd = PezDispenser@314c3fa0
java> pd.isEmpty();
ERROR: cannot find symbol
symbol: method isEmpty()
location: variable pd of type PezDispenser
pd.isEmpty();;

//here is code previous to the java-repl in this video.

public class PezDispenser{ public static final int MAX_PEZ = 12; private String mCharacterName; private int mPezCount;

public PezDispenser(String characterName){ mCharacterName = characterName; mPezCount = 0; }

public boolean isEmpty() { return mPezCount == 0; } public void load(){ mPezCount = MAX_PEZ; } public String getCharacterName() { return mCharacterName; } }

// not sure what is happening here, believe i am following the directions directly.
