Every time I attempt to complete the second task, it tells me the first task is no longer correct even though it was.

The first task told me it was correct but every time I attempt the second task it changes its mind and tells me the first task is no longer correct.

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 void charge() {
    barCount = MAX_BARS;
  }

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

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

  public String getColor() {
    return color;
  }


}

Lyndsi,

I looked over your code and noticed something in the isFullyCharged() method. You forgot to put return before barCount == MAX_BARS; You just put the same code from the charge() method. Try that, and it should work.

The reason why it said that task 1 is not working, I'm assuming, is because they are running some sort of unit test on your code, and your isFullyCharged() method kept resetting barCount to 8, which is not what the isBatteryEmpty() test was looking for. So jut go ahead and add return and you should be fine!

Hope this helped!
