I have watched the video associated with this about ten times and I am still stuck here and unsure of what to do.
"Using method signatures, add a new default method called drive that performs just 1 lap and takes no argument."
public class GoKart {
public static final int MAX_BARS = 8;
private String mColor;
private int mBarsCount;
public GoKart(String color) {
mColor = color;
mBarsCount = 0;
}
public String getColor() {
return mColor;
}
public void drive(int laps) {
// Other driving code omitted for clarity purposes
mBarsCount -= laps;
}
public void charge() {
while (!isFullyCharged()) {
mBarsCount++;
}
}
public boolean isBatteryEmpty() {
return mBarsCount == 0;
}
public boolean isFullyCharged() {
return mBarsCount == MAX_BARS;
}
}

2,419 PointsThank you very much, that was a great explanation of it. Incredibly simple and I feel dumb for needing to ask now. Thanks a lot!

Don't feel dumb at all. Method signatures/overloading can be confusing and the question is asked frequently here on Treehouse and elsewhere so you are not alone.
Pleased that my explanation helped.
Happy coding,
Ken
