Java Java Objects (Retired) Harnessing the Power of Objects Methods and Constants

Posted by Lane Valenzuela

It should be public and return nothing. When called it should set mBarsCount to the value of the constant you declared

CODE: public static final int CONSTANT_FIELD = 8; // Was made in Challenge Task 1 private static final int mBarsCount = 0; // Was made in Challenge Task 2

So I have to make a method named charge.

public charge() { mBarsCount = CONSTANT_FIELD; }

however I'm incorrect. What could I be doing wrong?

GoKart.java 
public class GoKart {
  public static final int CONSTANT_FIELD = 8;
  private static final int mBarsCount = 0;
  private String mColor;

  public charge() {
    mBarsCount = CONSTANT_FIELD;
  }

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

  public String getColor() {
    return mColor;
  } 
}

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

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

  public String getColor() {
    return mColor;
  } 

  public void charge(){
    mBarsCount = MAXNOBARS;
  }
}
