How do I add a method called console? for some reason I get a complier issue that onl points to a right bracket.

GoKart.java 
public class GoKart {
private String mColor;
public static final int MAX_BATTERY = 8;
private int mBarsCount = 0;

  public GoKart(String color) {
    mColor = color;
     }
  public int charge() {
    mBarsCount = MAX_BATTERY;
  }

  public String getColor() {
    return mColor;
  } 
}

Hey there Cole,

I don't remember this challenge wanting us to import a console, however I could be wrong on that as it's been a bit since I've done it.

However the trouble that your code is telling you is that you told it that your charge method will return an int when you declared it.

A simple fix like changing this to 

public void charge()

will allow your code to skate on through just fine.

Thanks, let me know if this helps or not.
