Now let's create a similar method named isFullyCharged that checks to see if the current bar count is at the maximum cha

I guess I thought conditional statements, by default, are true. So, if we replace (barCount == MAX_BARS) with (true) || (false), depending on how they evaluate, to me it should still work. If true, return true. If false, skip code block. In the original, I believe I had 'return false' after the conditional code block.

Spoiler Alert!

class GoKart {
  public static final int MAX_BARS = 8;
  private String color;
  private int barCount;

  public GoKart(String color) {
    this.color = color;
  }

  public String getColor() {
    return color;
  }

  public void charge() {
    barCount = MAX_BARS;
  }

  public boolean isBatteryEmpty() {
   if (barCount == 0) {
    return true;
  } else {
    return false;
   }
  }

  public boolean isFullyCharged() {
  if (barCount  == MAX_BARS) { 
      return true; 
  } 
    return false;
  }
}

I did have a similar but seemingly incorrect code try:

public boolean isFullyCharged() {
  if (barCount  == MAX_BARS) { 
      return true; 
  } 

Wondering why this logic produced an error.

I did like the way Allan and Zack wrote the logic though. Less redundant than my attempt. ;)

// return (result of whether a comparison of 'barCount == MAX_BARS' is true or false)

Thanks you!

I was able to get this to work with the following:

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

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

I did not have to tell it to return true/false or write an if statement.
