Java

"reached end of file while parsing" - I know this means that I am missing a curly brace but I dont know where!

public class Example {  // <- this gets closed

  public static void main(String[] args) { // <- but this doesn't
    // Your amazing code goes here...

    System.out.println("We are making a new PEZ dispenser");
    System.out.printf("FUN FACT: There are %d allowed in every dispenser  %n", 
                                   PezDispenser.MAX_PEZ);

    PezDispenser dispenser = new PezDispenser("Yoda");
    System.out.printf("The dispenser is %s %n", 
                      dispenser.getCharacterName());

    if (dispenser.isEmpty()) {
      System.out.println("Dispenser is empty");
    }

    System.out.println("Filling the dispenser with delicious PEZ...");
    dispenser.fill();
    if (!dispenser.isEmpty()) {
      System.out.println("Dispenser is full");
    } 

    while (dispenser.dispense()) {
      System.out.println("Chomp!");
    }

    if (dispenser.isEmpty()) {
      System.out.println("Ate all the PEZ");
    }
    dispenser.fill(4);
    dispenser.fill(2);

    while (dispenser.dispense()) {
      System.out.println("Chomp!!");
    } 

    try {
      dispenser.fill(400);
      System.out.println("This will never happen");
    } catch (IllegalArgumentException iae) {
      System.out.println("Whoa there!");
      System.out.printf("The error was %s %n", iae .getMessage());
    }
  // <- it should be closed here
} 

[MOD: edited code block & a dded indentation]

Hi James,

I think you've opened a brace for the class Example and another for main but not closed one of them.

You need another lone brace in between the two at the end, i.e. one that's indented once, not twice.

Make sense?

Steve.

I added comments in your code to show my point.
