What did I get wrong?

I keep on getting a error. This is my Example.java

public class Example {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Your amazing code goes here...
      System.out.println("We are a making a new Pez Dispenser.");
      PezDispenser dispenser = new PezDispenser();
      System.out.printf("The dispenser character is %s\n,
                        dispenser.getCharacterName());
    }
}

and this is my PizDispenser.java

public class PezDispenser {
  private String mCharacterName = "Yoda";

  public String getCharacterName() {
    return mCharacterName;
  }
}

I don't know what i am doing wrong.

Simple fix. You just need a double quote (") after your \n in the System.out.println so that it knows that the string is done. Didn't test it, but that should do the trick from what I can see.
