636 PointsIn your newly created drive method, increment the new lapsDriven variable by 1.
Great! Now let's write a simple drive method. It should be public and not return anything. We'll start out basic, calling the drive method will make the GoKart drive a single lap.
public void drive(){ this.lapsDriven++; this.barCount--; } public void drive(){ lapsDriven++;} } }
class GoKart {
public static final int MAX_BARS = 8;
private String color;
private int barCount;
private int lapsDriven;
public GoKart(String color) {
this.color = color;
}
public String getColor() {
return color;
}
public void charge() {
barCount = MAX_BARS;
}
public boolean isBatteryEmpty() {
return barCount == 0;
}
public boolean isFullyCharged() {
return MAX_BARS == barCount;
}
public void drive(){
this.lapsDriven++;
this.barCount--;
}
public void drive(){
lapsDriven++;}
}
}
