6,760 Points"The output from System.out does not show the 1 Yoda PEZ dispenser" but it clearly does show it.
The output seems to be correct but for some reason it s not getting accepted.
Any ideas what s wrong?
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, 5);
/* 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) {
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 void addItem(Product item) {
System.out.printf("1 %s %n", item.getName());
}
}
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;
}
}

Almost got it. However, this challenge is asking you to overload the addItem method with only one argument: Product item. Then call the original addItem method from within the overloaded addItem method passing it the incoming argument: item and 1 explicitly. That way you do not have to repeat any print statements since it is already done within the original method. I hope this leads you to a solution, but let me know and I can walk over the code if you have more issues.
Regards,
Chris
