Hi,

Have a look at this thread; that may walk you through the problem.

You don't want your charge method inside your isFullyCharged method. Separate those first. The code is all OK - it just needs tidying up a bit.

Start with public boolean isFullyCharged() - that just compares mBarsCount with MAX_ENERGY_BARS and returns true/false depending if they're equal or not.

The charge method should increment mBarsCount while mBarsCount is not equal to MAX_ENERGY_BARS.

You've got all the code there!

Have a read of the post linked above and let me know how you get on.

thanks a lot Steve it worked

No problem!
