My code is as follows. Could you please direct as to where I am going wrong? Thanks.
public class GoKart {
public static final int MAX_BARS = 8;
private String mColor;
private int mBarsCount;
public GoKart(String color) {
mColor = color;
mBarsCount = 0;
}
public String getColor() {
return mColor;
}
public void drive(int laps) {
// Other driving code omitted for clarity purposes
mBarsCount -= laps;
}
public void drive () {
drive (1);
}
public void charge() {
while (!isFullyCharged()) {
mBarsCount++;
}
}
public boolean isBatteryEmpty() {
return mBarsCount == 0;
}
public boolean isFullyCharged() {
return mBarsCount == MAX_BARS;
}
}

Your code is almost there. Just remove the space between drive and (1) and you should have it.
Happy coding,
Ken

Thanks Ken, Appreciate your response!

Treehouse TeacherNo worries. I spent a couple of hours today scouring my code for an error. I had put a 5 instead of an 8 and due to font type/size/old eyes, couldn't see it. Happens to all of us.
