:PezDispenser pd = new PezDispenser("Yoda"); is not a valid command

I went through trying to see if I had a spelling error, but couldn't see any. Why am I getting this error message repl?

public class PezDispenser{
  public static final int MAX_PEZ = 12;
  private String mCharacterName;
  private int mPezCount;
  public PezDispenser(String characterName) {
   mCharacterName = characterName; 
  }

  public String getCharacterName() {
    return mCharacterName;
    mPezCount = 0;
  }

  public boolean isEmpty() {
   return PezCount == 0;
  } 
  public void load() {
    mPezCount = MAX_PEZ;
  }

  public String getCharacterName() {
    return mCharacterName;
  }
}

Hi Viola,

Don't know if you're still working on this. But I think I have the answer you wrote:

public String getCharacterName() { return mCharacterName; mPezCount = 0;

But I think it is ment to be:

public String getCharacterName() { return mmPezCount = 0;

Hope this helps.
