3,260 PointsJust tried switching this up a bit as below but still doesn't like the isFullyCharged = true; .... why?
public class GoKart { public static final int MAX_ENERGY_BARS = 8; private String mColor; private int mBarsCount;
public GoKart(String color) { mColor = color; mBarsCount = 0; }
public String getColor() { return mColor; }
public boolean charge() { while (isBatteryEmpty()) { mBarsCount++; isFullyCharged = true; } return isFullyCharged; }
public boolean isBatteryEmpty() { return mBarsCount == 0; }
public boolean isFullyCharged() { return mBarsCount == MAX_ENERGY_BARS; }
}
