???
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() {
boolean isMaxCharge = false;
while (!isFullyCharged()) {
mBarsCount++;
isMaxCharge = true;
}
return mBarsCount == MAX_ENERGY_BARS;
}
}

Treehouse TeacherHi there! The code that you write should be in the charge method. We're not doing anything to isFullyCharged. Take a look:
public void charge() {
while (!isFullyCharged()) {
mBarsCount++;
}
}
Here all we're doing is saying while we don't get a true returned from isFullyCharged(), then add one bar to mBarsCount. When the GoKart is fully charged, stop charging. Hope this helps!
