creating drive method, increment the new lapsDriven variable by 1. im stuck here. HELP...

i think i have the correct syntax for drive method but it says that Task 1 is no passing, any help? Thanks

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


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

  public void drive() {
     lapsDriven++; 
  }

  public String getColor() {
    return color;
  }

  public void charge() {
    barCount = MAX_BARS;
  }

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

  public boolean isFullyCharged() {
    return MAX_BARS == barCount;
  }

The code in your drive method seems fine, the problem that is causing an error in your program is that you have a random "l" letter placed near the end of file, right above the closing bracket for the class. If you remove that you should be able to pass onto task 3.
