public boolean isBatteryEmpty(){
if(mBarsCount== 0){
return true;
}
return false;
}
public boolean isFullyCharged(){
if(mBarsCount == MAX_BARS){
return true;
}
return false;
}

5,121 Pointsso what you are needing to do is check things over and verify whether or not the statement is true. in order for us to do this we need to set some conditions. how do we set a condition >> if(mBarsCount== 0){// than your goKart is empty right?> True. if this is not true than this condition is false and your goKart has fuel.
does this give you enough juice to figure it out? if not i am here to help

5,121 Pointsand remember boolean values only return true or false... 0's and 1's are technically correct but for simplicity sake don't confuse yourself
