Not even sure what the hell is wrong with the code. i have tried everything and have been stuck on this challenge for 3 days now.

private String color;
private int barCount;
private int lapsDriven;
public GoKart(String color) {
this.color = color;
}
public String getColor() {
return color;
}
public void charge() {
barCount = MAX_BARS;
}
public boolean isBatteryEmpty() {
return barCount == 0;
}
public boolean isFullyCharged() {
return MAX_BARS == barCount;
}
public void drive() {
lapsDriven+=;
barCount-=;
}

public void drive(int newParameterGoesHere) {
lapsDriven+=; // increase this value by the amount passed in
barCount-=; // decrease this value by the amount passed in
}
