name a method charge.

I am drawing a blank on this. I thought I had the answer but it told me i was wrong. If I could see the answer, I could see where I went wrong...

GoKart.java 
public class GoKart {
  public static final int MAX_BATTERY = 8;
  private String mColor;
  private int mBarsCount;
  public GoKart(String color) {
    mColor = color;
    mBarsCount = 0;
  }

  public String getColor() {
    return mColor;
  } 
}

Hi Michael,

you forgot to add the charge() method.

See here:

public class GoKart {
  private String mColor;
  public static final int MAX_BATTERY = 8;
  private int mBarsCount;

  public GoKart(String color) {
    mColor = color;
    mBarsCount = 0;
  }
  public void charge() {
// create a new charge method
// that takes no arguments and returns nothing (void)
// sett the count to the maximum
    mBarsCount = MAX_BATTERY;
  }
  public String getColor() {
    return mColor;
  } 
}

Hope that helps

Grigorij
