I don't understand why Craig used load(MAX_PEZ) in the load method. Can you just leave it as mPezCount = MAX_PEZ.

I know he said why, but I am still confused.

Craig said that it's good coding practice to reuse existing code. That way, if the load method needs to be changed in the future, it only needs to happen in one place: the original load method which takes the int parameter. Hope this helps!
