Not sure I understand what they're asking for in this challenge.
public class Example {
public static void main(String[] args) {
ShoppingCart cart = new ShoppingCart();
Product pez = new Product("Cherry PEZ refill (12 pieces)");
cart.addItem(pez);
/* Since a quantity of 1 is such a common argument when adding a product to the cart,
* your fellow developers have asked you to make the following code work, as well as keeping
* the ability to add a product and a quantity.
*/
Product dispenser = new Product("Yoda PEZ dispenser");
/* Uncomment the line following this comment,
after adding a new method using method signatures,
to solve their request in ShoppingCart.java
*/
// cart.addItem(dispenser);
}
}
public class ShoppingCart {
public void addItem(Product item) {
int quantity = 1;
System.out.printf("Adding %d of %s to the cart.%n", quantity, item.getName());
/* Other code omitted for clarity. Please imagine
lots and lots of code here. Don't repeat it.
*/
}
}
public class Product {
/* Other code omitted for clarity, but you could imagine
it would store price, options like size and color
*/
private String mName;
public Product(String name) {
mName = name;
}
public String getName() {
return mName;
}
}

Java Web Development Techdegree Graduate 23,933 PointsHey Rafael,
Basically, you need to uncomment the last line in Example.java so that it reads
cart.addItem(dispenser);
Then, you need to figure out a way to adjust the addItem method that is being called. It's set up to take two arguments/parameters, but when the above line is uncommented only one argument/parameter is passed to addItem. Looks like you already adjusted the addItem method.
Instead of adjusting the first time addItem is called using the pez object as the parameter, you need to uncomment the line above.
Let me know if that makes sense.
Here's a question on the same code challenge that may be helpful.
