Create a new private field named barCount that will track how many bars of energy our GoKart battery currently has.

I'm having a hard time trying to complete this challenge. Should we use loops or conditional statements to keep track of the number of bars of energy?

GoKart.java 
class GoKart {
  public static final int MAX_BARS = 8;
  private String color;
private int barCount(int bC){
  bC=MAX_BARS;
}
  public GoKart(String color) {
    this.color = color;
  }

  public String getColor() {
    return color;
  }
}

I believe it's just asking you to declare barCount as a variable. private int barCount; should do it.
