For the first task you need to update the drive method by passing in an argument and then add the laps to go to lapsDriven and subtract it from barCount.

It will be something like - public void drive(int lapsToGo){ lapsDrive += lapsToGo; barCount -= lapsToGo; }

In the second task you just need to make another drive method that calls the modified drive method by passing in 1 as a parameter for lapsToGo

public void drive(){ drive(1); }
