I get this error. Bummer! Did you uncomment the line in Example.java? The output from System.out does not show the 1 Yoda PEZ dispenser.
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 this line after 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 */
}
public void addItem(Product item){
System.out.printf("1 %s.", 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;
}
}

When defining your second method, what the task is wanting you to do is use the predefined method that took an int as a quanity, they just want to pass it one by default, I did the same thing when first trying this.
Try this
public void addItem(Product item){
addItem(item, 1);
}
Thanks give me a shout if this doesn't help.
