How can we use the charge method when we have both the charge method along with isFullyCharged. I am totally confused. Please help me solve this exercise. Thanks in advance
public class GoKart {
public static final int MAX_ENERGY_BARS = 8;
private String mColor;
private int mBarsCount;
public GoKart(String color) {
mColor = color;
mBarsCount = 0;
}
public String getColor() {
return mColor;
}
public void charge() {
mBarsCount = MAX_ENERGY_BARS;
}
public boolean isBatteryEmpty() {
return mBarsCount == 0;
}
public boolean isFullyCharged() {
while (
}
}

Methods within the class are able to call other methods with in the class. In this case, it's asking you to use the isFullyCharged() method within the charge() method to check to see if the mBarsCount variable is at capacity, and if not, to increment the mBarsCount method.
The code would look something like this:
public void charge() {
while (!isFullyCharged()) {
mBarsCount++;
}
}
Does that help? I hate to give code in my answers because I think it's better if you figure that part out on your own, but in this case, I thought it might help you see that you can call methods from other methods.
