Example.java
public class Example {
public static void main(String[] args) { // Your amazing code goes here... System.out.println("Lets see if this changes anything"); PezDispenser dispenser = new PezDispenser(); System.out.printf("The dispenser is %s %n", dispenser.characterName); }
}
PezDispenser.java

5,557 PointsHey JJ Jar, I found out what is causing your errors, and it's one of those simple ones. You capitalized the word "Class" at the beginning of your PezDispenser.java file. Keep the word lower case and it will work for you.
