getting java.util.NoSuchElementException and errors with my code

I am following the tutorial Helper Methods and Conditionals and seem to have the same code as the teacher, but i am still getting errors and i don't know why.

Here is my code:

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 PezCount == 0; }

public void load() { mPezCount = MAXPEZ; }

public String getCharacterName() { return mCharacterName; } }

And this is my console after trying to use repl and the trying to compile the code to see if it would solve my problem with repl:

java> :load PezDispenser.java
Loaded source file from PezDispenser.java
java> PezDispenser pd = new PezDispenser("Yoda");
java.util.NoSuchElementException

Hi there! Well I can point out at least one error. You have written this:

public static final int MAX_PEZ = 12;

This declares a variable named MAX_PEZ.

But later on in your error messages we see this:

PezDispenser.java:16: error: cannot find symbol
mPezCount = MAXPEZ;

So if we look up a bit in your code we see this:

public void load() { 
    mPezCount = MAXPEZ;
 }

You forgot the underscore between MAX and PEZ. That should be MAX_PEZ... not MAXPEZ. Hope you get this working! :sparkles:
