2)Use the equality operator instead of the assignment operator
3)Include an else statement
public boolean isFullyCharged() {
if (barCount == MAX_BARS) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}

If you remove this the code will compile, but because of the IF statement condition being a quoted string it will give you unwanted results.
