Increment and Decrement

Question

I have this error what does his error mean ?

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: ParseException: com.github.javaparser.ParseException: Encountered " <IDENTIFIER> "GoKart "" at line 7, column 10. Was expecting one of: "class" ... "enum" ... "interface" ... "@" ... "@" ... "@" ... "@" ... (Look around Inspector.java line 73)

GoKart.java

class GoKart {
  public static final int MAX_BARS = 8;
  private String color;
  private int barCount;
}

  public GoKart(String color) {
    this.color = color;
  }

  public String getColor() {
    return color;
  }

  public void charge() {
    barCount = MAX_BARS;
  }

  public boolean isFullyCharged() {
    public void charge() 

      while(!isFullyCharged()) {
        mBarsCount++;
      }

  public boolean isBatteryEmpty() {
    return barCount == 0;
  }

  public boolean isFullyCharged() {
    return MAX_BARS == barCount;
  }
}

On line 5 you have closed the class code block. That bracket should not be until the last line of code for the entire class. I think once you fix that your code should run. Should look like this:

class GoKart { public static final int MAX_BARS = 8; private String color; private int barCount; //no closing bracket here.

public GoKart(String color) { this.color = color; }

public String getColor() { return color; }

public void charge() { barCount = MAX_BARS; }

public boolean isFullyCharged() { public void charge()

  while(!isFullyCharged()) {
    mBarsCount++;
  }

public boolean isBatteryEmpty() { return barCount == 0; }

public boolean isFullyCharged() { return MAX_BARS == barCount; } } //closing bracket here
