boolean?

Hi,

Here is the current challenge I need help with:

\ Create a new public method named isBatteryEmpty that returns true if the battery has 0 bars remaining, and false otherwise. \

I'm really not sure what I'm missing? Syntax error?

GoKart.java 
class GoKart {
  public static final int MAX_BARS = 8;
  private String color;
  private int barCount;

  public GoKart(String color) {
    this.color = color;
  }

  public String getColor() {
    return color;
  }

  public void charge() {
    barCount = MAX_BARS;
  }

  public boolean isBatteryEmpty() {
    return barCount == 0;
}

Hi there, Kabir Das! It looks like the problem is a missing closed curly brace. You have a closed curly brace ending the method, but there should also be one closing the class. Try adding an additional closed curly brace } to the end of your code. When I do that, your code passes the challenge!

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
