fill(int pezAmount) method

instead of - int newAmount = pezCount + pezAmount; if (newAmount > MAX_PEZ) {}

can you do - this.pezCount += pezAmount; if (this.pezCount > MAX_PEZ) {}

are they both the same thing ?

So this is probably irrelevant to you now but I ran the code myself and as long as you remember to change the 'newAmount' name everywhere used within the PezDispenser class, looks like you're good to go.

Now as far as if convention wise that may not be the best way to do it, but I'm not qualified to say it's okay or not okay, but now we know it does in fact work.
