Treehouse TeacherHi there! The answer is in the error message. Look carefully:
System.our.printf("The dispenser character is %s\n", dispen ser.mCharacterName);
This should be:
System.out.printf("The dispenser character is %s\n", dispen ser.mCharacterName);
You just have a typo! That should be System.out.printf
not System.our.printf
. Hope this helps!

8,183 PointsI noticed the error. I wrote "System.ouR.printf" instead of "System.ouT.printf".
