Stuck in solving one of the Objectives in Java Objects Section

Hi Am new to coding and i got stuck in solving one of the Objective
please help!

Java Objects increment and Decrement Objective

Challenge Task 2 of 3

Great! Now let's write a simple drive method. It should be public and not return anything. We'll start out basic, calling the drive method will make the GoKart drive a single lap.

In your newly created drive method, increment the new lapsDriven variable by 1. Use the incrementing shorthand to increase lapsDriven.

and my below written code from the previos Excercises.

class GoKart { public static final int MAX_BARS = 8; private String color; private int barCount; private int lapsDriven;

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() { return MAX_BARS == barCount; }

} }

GoKart.java
class GoKart {
  public static final int MAX_BARS = 8;
  private String color;
  private int barCount;
  private int lapsDriven;

  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() {
    return MAX_BARS == barCount;
  }

  }
}

So, you need to create a drive() method and then increment the new lapsDriven variable within the body of that method. Are you not sure where to start with creating the method?
