Java Java Objects (Retired) Harnessing the Power of Objects Method Signatures

Java Objects - Method Signature Challenge

Hello Treehouse Forums!

I'm currently stuck at Challenge java Objects - Method Signature

I've added

public void drive() { drive(MAX_BARS); }

to the code but i still get error '' Method is wrong, did you called out original Drive method and passing in 1?

Whatever i do ends up in syntax error,

Thank you in advance for suggestions.

GoKart.java
public class GoKart {
  public static final int MAX_BARS = 8;
  private String mColor;
  private int mBarsCount;

  public GoKart(String color) {
    mColor = color;
    mBarsCount = 0;
  }

  public String getColor() {
    return mColor;
  }

 public void drive() {
  drive(MAX_BARS);
 }

  public void drive(int laps) {
    // Other driving code omitted for clarity purposes
    mBarsCount -= laps;
  }

  public void charge() {
    while (!isFullyCharged()) {
      mBarsCount++;
    }
  }

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

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

}

In the method drive you have to performs just 1 lap you almost there

public void drive() {
  drive(MAX_BARS); // just change the MAX_BARS to 1
 }

// like this
public void drive() {
  drive(1); // <-------- here
 }

Thank you for quick help, it works perfectly!
