what

I going crazy I don't understand

GoKart.java 
public class GoKart {
  public static final int MAX_BATTERY=8;
  private int mBarsCount=0;
  private Integer charge;

  public GoKart(Integer parseIntCharge) {
    mBarsCount = charge;
  }
  public int getCharge() {
    return mBarsCount=0;
  }
  public void load() {
    mBarsCount=MAX_BATTERY;
  }


  private String mColor;
  public GoKart(String color) {
    mColor = color;
  }

  public String getColor() {
    return mColor;
  } 

}

Hey i don't know if you already realised but you have create the variable inside the class and initialize it inside the constructor

public class GoKart {

  public static final int MAX_BATTERY=8;
  private String mColor;
   private int mBarsCount;

  public GoKart(String color) {
    mColor = color;
   mBarsCount= 0;
  }

. . . that is how i did it, and thanks to you i realised something i did wrong in one of my exercises so thanks :D

lucas is right about using a single constructor. complete code should look something like:

public class GoKart {
  private String mColor;
  public static final int MAX_CHARGE = 8; 
  private int mBarsCount; 

  public GoKart(String color) {
    mColor = color;
     mBarsCount = 0;
  }

  public void charge(){
    mBarsCount = MAX_CHARGE;
  }

  public String getColor() {
    return mColor;
  }
}

nb: the treehouse verification for this project is messed up.
