Did you uncomment the line in Example.java? The output from System.out does not show the 1 Yoda PEZ dispenser.

Did you uncomment the line in Example.java? The output from System.out does not show the 1 Yoda PEZ dispenser.

Example.java

    cart.addItem(pez, 5);

     * 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);
  }

}

  }

}
Product.java

     it would store price, options like size and color

      mName = name;

  public String getName() {

Hello, you're really close on this, what they are actually asking is that you add the already defined method into the new method signature that you create. So it should look something like this.

  public void addItem(Product addedItem) {
    addItem(addedItem, 1);
  }
}

Your code will work exactly as you posted it in your question, with one tiny modification.

All you need to do is change

"1 Yoda PEZ dispenser %n"

to

"1 of %s %n"
