Hi, u got the basic idea but it's not what they wanted u to do.

//first u check if the requested laps is greater than the current barCount supply
    if(laps > barCount) {
//if it return true then u throw a error and the program stop the execution  of the code.
      throw new IllegalArgumentException("Not enough energy bars!");
    }
//if the statement return false then u can add laps to lapsDriven and  use the barCount to make those laps.
    lapsDriven += laps;
    barCount -= laps;
  }
