PLS HELP ME I HAVE BEEN ON THIS ONE ALMOST THE WHOLE DAY , it tells me that task one is no longer passing

here is my code when I create the isFullyCharged method , the isBatteryEmpty stops working

GoKart.java
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(){
      return barCount==0;
  }
  public boolean isFullyCharged (){
    barCounter==8;
  }

}

Hello Youssef,

The challenge wants you to return a boolean value from the isFullyCharged method. The best way to accomplish this is to compare the current bar count with the MAX_BARS final static variable.

You're currently not returning a value from the isFullyCharged method, so you'll want to use the return key word. Also, you're using a variable called barCounter, but the variable you should use is barCount.

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

I hope this helps.

Happy Coding :)
