System.out.printf("It was %s but Chris switched it to %s %n", before,
^
Example.java:10: error: illegal start of type
System.out.printf("It was %s but Chris switched it to %s %n", before,

and it continues...

The original code public class Example {

public static void main(String[] args) { // Your amazing code goes here... System.out.println("we are making a new Pez"); Pez dispenser=new Pez("yoda"); System.out.printf("The dispenser is %s %n", dispenser.getName()); } String before=dispenser.swapHead("darth vader"); System.out.printf("It was %s but Chris switched it to %s %n", before, dispenser.getName()); }

Does someone know about this?

Your code is a little hard to read but i would suggest that you check your curly braces.

if they don't match up it could throw that error.
