709 Pointscheck the PezDispenser.java for errors^^ i spelled some stuff wrong and forgot a } that resulted in 15 errors at first ^^
this is what it should look like:
class PezDispenser {
public static final int MAX_PEZ = 12;
final private String characterName;
private int pezCount;
public 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;
}
}
