Java Java Objects Harnessing the Power of Objects Computed Properties

Create a similar method named isFullyCharged that checks to see if the current bar count is at the maximum charge.

Where am I wrong?

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() {
   if (barCount == 0) {
    return true;
   }
    else {
    return false;
}
  }

  public boolean isFullyCharged() {
   if (barCount == MAX_BAR) {
    return true;
   }
    else {
    return false;
}
  }
}

"MAX_BARS" is missing the "s" in your if statement for "isFullyCharged".
