How do I figure out the portion of the task returning "void"

Finally, let's add a method named charge. It should be public and return nothing. When called it should set mBarsCount to the value of the constant you declared in Task 1.

GoKart.java 
public class GoKart {
  private String mColor;
  public static final int MAX_ENERGYBARS= 8;
  private int mBarsCount;
  public GoKart(String color) {
    mColor = color;
  }
    public void Charge(){
  mBarsCount= MAX_ENERGYBARS;
    }
  public String getColor() {
    return mColor;
  }

}

Hi Belinda - You've capitalized the method name. It should be charge().
