7,448 PointsWhy am I getting errors, when my output is correct?
I keep getting errors, but I believe I'm doing exactly what I am supposed to be doing. Some of the messages say that my System.out does not show "1 Yoda Pez Dispenser" when it clearly does. Either the directions are too vague and I'm not doing something exactly right or theres something wrong with this challenge.
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 the line following this comment,
after adding a new method 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. 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());
}
}
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;
}
}

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