Code not good "correct" to complete challenge?

The challenge is asking me to make a method to simply just add an individual item to the cart without specifying I only want one, I created this method and hit the check work button. However it says "bummer!..." and goes on to say I haven't made the method, but in the output.html it says "Adding 1 Yoda PEZ dispenser to the cart." just as I was asked.

Example.java
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);
    Product dispenser = new Product("Yoda PEZ dispenser");
    cart.addItem(dispenser);
  }

}
ShoppingCart.java
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("Adding 1 %s to the cart.%n", item.getName());
  }
}
Product.java
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;
  }
}
