Can someone please help, i have no idea why i'm getting these error messages. The only thing in think of is i haven't created anything named "pd" so i can't run it if it isn't there. I have scoured the forum for help but my problem doesn't seem to be there.

You have typo in "mPexcount"
is should be "mPezCount"
You've done the same thing in repl with "PexDispenser" java> PexDispenser pd = new PezDispenser("Yoda"); ERROR: cannot find symbol

Hi Nasser, do you need to see Example.java also?
