Java cannot find symbol

Hi! I have a problem coding in java: Where is the part where says "pezCount", java cannot find the symbol "p" at the beggining of the word. Here is my code:

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

  public PezDispenser (String characterName) {
    this.characterName = characterName;
    pezCount = 0;
  }

  public void fill() {
    pezCount = MAX_PEZ;
  }

  public  String getCharacterName() {
    return characterName;
  }

  }

Hi there! You have a typo in the beginning which is throwing everything a bit off.

You typed:

  private int pezCoun;

But you meant to type:

  private int pezCount;  // note the "t" on the end

So later in your code, when you try and access pezCount, it doesn't know what you mean because there is no pezCount declared... only a pezCoun.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
