Method Signatures - 1 Objective

you can try this not sure if it's exact because you didn't show any code:

public void Drive() { laps++; }

He said make a new drive method and each time its called it should mean hes done 1 lap. This method does this by taking the laps variable and using the shortcut ++ to mean just add 1 to the variables value.

Hello, thank you for the quick reply. I just realized I did not post any code!

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(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 that case you should try:

public void drive() { mBarsCount--; }

mBarsCount is your energy counter, so by taking 1 away that is basically saying i've just done a lap.

Test it out :)

It wants me to call the original drive() method, and pass in a default parameter of 1. I actually had this code originally too but could not figure out how to call the method...

Wow....simpler is always better. So easy to over think these tasks. Thank you very much my friend! :) Have a great day!
