It should be pretty straight forward but apparently it isn't. Some additional hints or explanation would be super welcome!
public class GoKart {
public static final int MAX_ENERGY_BARS = 8;
private String mColor;
private int mBarsCount;
public GoKart(String color) {
mColor = color;
mBarsCount = 0;
}
public String getColor() {
return mColor;
}
public boolean isBatteryEmpty() {
return mBarsCount == 0;
}
public boolean isFullyCharged() {
return mBarsCount == MAX_ENERGY_BARS;
}
public boolean charge() {
mBarsCount = MAX_ENERGY_BARS;
public boolean charge() {
boolean wasCharged = false;
if (!isFullyCharged()) {
mBarsCount++;
wasCharged = true;
}
return wasCharged;
}
while (charger.!isFullyCharged()) {
System.out.println("Charge!");
}
if (charger.isFullyCharged()) {
System.out.println("Is fully charged!");
}
}
}

public void charge() {
while(!isFullyCharged()){
mBarsCount++;
}
}
