class Example {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Your amazing code goes here...
System.out.println("We are making a new Pez Dispenser.");
PezDispenser dispenser = new PezDispenser("Yoda");
System.out.printf("The dispenser character is %s\n", dispenser.getmCharacterName());
}
}
public class PezDispenser { public static final int MAX_PEZ = 12; private String mCharacterName; private String mPezCount;
public PezDispenser(String characterName){ String mCharacterName = characterName; mPezCount = 0; } public boolean isEmpty() { return mPezCount == 0; }
public String getmCharacterName(){ return mCharacterName; }
First I compiled both the programs. Then I typed the command java-repl then I loaded the class PezDispenser.java using the command :load PezDispenser.java That was also successful But when I typed the following command: PezDispenser pd = new PezDispenser("Yoda"); and I am getting the following error: NoSuchElementException

This could cause a problem because in your object initializer you are setting the the variable to an int. I am surprised it compiled with that issue. Another issue is in your initializer method. You need to remove the String declaration or Java will create a new variable in that scope causing your mCharacterName to always be null in the rest of the class. See correction below:
public PezDispenser(String characterName){
mCharacterName = characterName;
mPezCount = 0;
}
