they said after iv done my guess that i didn't catch the exception
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
GoKart kart = new GoKart("yellow");
if (kart.isBatteryEmpty()) {
System.out.println("The battery is empty");
}
kart.drive(2);
try {
kart. drive (3);
System.out.println (" this will never happen !");
}
catch (IllegalArgumentException iae ) {
System.out.println (" be careful ");
System.out.printf("the error was : %s\n" , iae.getMessage ());
}
}
}

4,277 PointsHey Ramy, your try and catch block should look like this,
try {
kart.drive(2);
} catch (IllegalArgumentException iae) {
System.out.printf("Error!!! %s", iae.getMessage());
}

4,277 PointsHey you add a lot of unnecessary code like kart.drive(3); you are supposed to use the kart.drive(2); and put it in a try block and then catch it. Please delete this line of code --> System.out.println (" be careful "); The rest should be fine. Hope it helps
