Code should be complete and properly formatted. Take a look at these videos about Posting a Question, using Markdown formatting to preserve the code's appearance., and particularly this one about sharing a snapshot of your workspace.

Try saving before compiling.

Sytem should be System in Sytem.out.println("We are making a new pez dispensor");
