Java Java Objects Harnessing the Power of Objects Overload Methods

Not sure what the question is

In the question i understand it as the user having to say the amount of laps to be driven and then the car going that amount. Therefore i used a scanner in the beginning so that the user could specify the amount of laps. However i am not sure what to change my drive method to.

GoKart.java
class GoKart {
  public static final int MAX_BARS = 8;
  private String color;
  private int barCount;
  Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
  int lapsDriven = scanner.nextInt();

  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--;
  }
}

No need to add scanner. + You forgot to declare lapsDriven; as a field.
