467 PointsOops! It look like Task 1 is not longer Passing Help??
Why is this not working? Spending too much time trying to figure this out.
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;
}
public boolean isFullyCharged(){
if(barCount == 8){
return true;
}
}
}

467 PointsThank you very much but not seeing that if statement in isBatteryEmpty() method is open??
Vladut Astalos
11,246 PointsYes it is, after your condition you open a curly bracket and you didn't close it after return statement. Also in isFullyCharged() method i think you need to replace 8 with your constant 'MAX_BARS' you defined in the beginning.

467 PointsYes I finally see it! Thank you very much! I'm still have issues with when to enter { or }

11,246 PointsI'm glad I could help. One way to deal with the brackets is to write both of them and then move your cursor back and write your code between them that way you're sure you never forget to close the brackets.
