1,409 PointsI don't understand the Code Challenge "Method Signatures".
Challenge Task 1 of 1
I have added a method drive that defines a parameter laps. These high-powered GoKarts use 1 energy bar off their battery per lap.
Using method signatures, add a new default method called drive that
performs just 1 lap and takes no arguments
Important: The code you write in each task should be added to the code written in the previous task.

1,409 PointsI don't understand what code I should put in.

7,410 PointsIt seems that you just need to create a new method called drive to simulate the goKart performing one lap (i.e. taking away 1 from the battery). The method doesn't require anything to be put in and won't need to return any value. Give it a go, and if you're stuck - post what you tried here on the forum and we can help you further.

1,409 PointsI cannot figure out how to limit the laps to one.
Yeeka Yau
7,410 PointsYou dont need to limit the laps to 1. All the method needs to do is -1 from the battery.

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

7,410 PointsNot sure what the variable names were now, but didn't you have:
public void drive(){ mEnergyBars -= 1; }
or something? That seems like it should work.
