Can't get it to run....
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 boolean isBatteryEmpty() {
return mBarsCount == 0;
}
public boolean isFullyCharged() {
boolean charging = false;
}
while (isBatteryEmpty()){

follow the comments:
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() {
// the while loop is needed inside the charge() method
// The isFullyCharged method is nice, no need to change it.
// Inside the charge method, you can use isFullyCharged method to write a condition for a while loop
while(!isFullyCharged()){
// dont forget the ! to say while "NOT" fully charged
// increment mBarsCount
mBarsCount++;
}
}
public boolean isBatteryEmpty() {
return mBarsCount == 0;
}
public boolean isFullyCharged() {
return mBarsCount == MAX_ENERGY_BARS;
}
}
Let me know if you are stuck

1,520 PointsI obviously misunderstood the question.... Your solution worked great!. I believe that they need to rewrite that question because I truly believed that they only wanted us to manipulate the isFullyCharged Method... in-any case Thanks Bro!
