Java Java Objects Harnessing the Power of Objects Incrementing and Decrementing

I have a lot of errors in my compiler :(

I tried running the while loop and go a ton of errors in the console.

This is Example.java

public class Example {

public static void main(String[] args) { // Your amazing code goes here... System.out.println("We are making a new PEZ dispenser"); System.out.printf("Fun fact, there are %d PEZ allowed in every pez dispenser.%n",PezDispenser.MAX_PEZ); PezDispenser dispenser = new PezDispenser("Yoda"); System.out.printf("The dispenser is %S %n", dispenser.getCharacterName()); // if(dispenser.isEmpty()){ // System.out.println("Dispenser is empty"); // } System.out.println("Filling the dispenser with delicious pez..."); dispenser.fill(); if(!dispenser.isEmpty()){ System.out.println("Dispenser is full"); } } while (dispenser.dispense()){ System.out.println("chomp"); } if (dispenser.isEmpty()){ System.out.println("all out of pez"); } }

this is the PezDispenser.java file

class PezDispenser{ public static int MAX_PEZ = 12; final private String characterName; private int pezCount;

// Calling Pez Dispenser again is used to create a constructor PezDispenser(String characterName){

this.characterName = characterName;
    pezCount = 0;

}

public void fill(){
    pezCount = MAX_PEZ;
}
public boolean dispense(){
    boolean wasDispensed = false;
    if(!isEmpty){
        pezCount--;
        wasDispensed = true;
    }
    return wasDispensed;
}
public boolean isEmpty(){
    return pezCount == 0;
}

public String getCharacterName(){ return characterName; }

}

1 Answer

In Example.java

1) You have two closing brackets before while

} } while 

one of which will close main so delete one.

2) You need a closing bracket for class Example. There should be three closing brackets at the end.

In PezDispenser.java

1) You need to follow isEmpty with parentheses here

if(!isEmpty()){

Thank you very much. That worked!
