15,475 PointsIncredibly frustrated by this Incrementing Battery objective - code seems fine but fails - no errors on previewer.
my code:
public void charge() { while (!isFullyCharged()) { mBarsCount++; } }
I also tried: public boolean charge() { while (!isFullyCharged()) { mBarsCount++; } }
both fail - all previous forum questions indicate that this code should pass - please help, I've wasted over 3 hours on this already....
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 void charge() {
while (!isFullyCharged()) {
mBarsCount++;
}
}
public boolean isBatteryEmpty() {
return mBarsCount == 0;
}
public boolean isFullyCharged() {
return mBarsCount == MAX_ENERGY_BARS;
}
}

15,475 Pointswell, not sure what you were referring to exactly, but i removed all other code relating to the charge method and it finally worked - super-frustrated by the waste of my entire morning on this objective, especially since i had the gist of it nailed from the get go - very disappointing, TreeHouse

4,268 PointsHi, You have two methods called "charge":
public void charge() { mBarsCount = MAX_ENERGY_BARS; }
public void charge() { while (!isFullyCharged()) { mBarsCount++; } }
Try changing the new one you are making for the challenge to a different name. I don't know much about Java yet and I'm not sure about this, but you may also need to move the new method to the end of your code (since where the block is now you are using isFullyCharged before it's defined).
Hope this helps!
