940 Pointspublic boolean isBatteryEmpty() { return mBarsCount == 0; }
Sorry equality operator not assignment. Need == sign

741 PointsThanx it worked!

741 Pointsthe question is: Create a helper method that returns whether or not the GoKart needs to be charged. Make it public and name it isBatteryEmpty.
Brandon Watts
940 PointsYour method is labeled void and your trying to return a Boolean value I think. Try this:
public boolean isBatteryEmpty() { return mBarsCount = 0; }

741 PointsI typed in what you said and it returned this: ./GoKart.java:19: error: incompatible types: int cannot be converted to boolean return mBarsCount = 0; ^ 1 error Do you know what's wrong?

940 PointsNo problem, good luck on the assignment man!
