Ok, once again I have understood nothing.

I don't even know what to ask. Here is the code. This is what I saw in the video but it does not work.

Main.java 
public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        GoKart kart = new GoKart("yellow");
        if (kart.isBatteryEmpty()) {
          System.out.println("The battery is empty");
        }
        kart.drive(2);
    } try{
    kart.drive(3);
    System.out.println("You're running out of gas!");
    } catch { (IllegalArguementException);

    }
}

          System.out.println("The battery is empty");
        }
      try {
        kart.drive(2);
      } catch(IllegalArgumentException e) {
          System.out.println(e.getMessage());
      }
    }
}

I would suggest you to watch the videos agian :) Feel free to ask something.

I also would suggest you to write the basic syntax in a text file so you will remember it. Or google it. A simple google search of "java try catch" and "java exception message" would have give you to the answer

Also, there is a typo in argument in IllegalArgumentException. This might be it too but I don't know too much about it.
