Hi there,

Looking at that, it would suggest that each PezDispenser instance has a constant defined at class level called MAX_PEZ. The fill() method sets the instance variable called pezCount to be the value held by the MAX_PEZ constant. So, whatever level the instance has when the fill() method is called, it is filled to the max level in this method.

I hope that makes sense!

Steve.
