Task one is no longer passing.

Idk why anymore.

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


  public GoKart(String color) {
    this.color = color;
  }

  public boolean isBatteryEmpty() {
    return barCount == 0;
  }


  public String isFullyCharged() {
      if ( barCount == 8 ) {
        console.printf("Full!");
      } 
        }
      }
  }  


  public String getColor() {
    return color;
  }

  public void charge() {
    barCount = MAX_BARS;
  }
}

The error message is quite unintuitive - I also had a problem with it. If you click "GO TO TASK ONE" the code from task two gets replaced by the working code from task one. What you have to do is:

  1. Before clicking "GO TO TASK ONE" copy your code from task two.
  2. Click "GO TO TASK ONE"
  3. Paste the code from task two to the task one window.
  4. Execute the code and at that point you will get the message with proper explanation, why your code from task two does not pass task one requirements anymore.

I hope the explanation is clear enough :)

public boolean isFullyCharged() { return barCount == MAX_BARS; }

From what I understand, the barCount needs to equal the max amount of bars.

Also from looking, you have many '{}' these can mess up the code, hope this has helped.
