Courses Plus Student 407 PointsCan anyone explain to me why is this code incorrect? It says I have two errors and it is pointing at the mBarsCount = 0;
It says I have two errors and it is pointing at the mBarsCount = 0;
public class GoKart {
private String mColor;
public static final int MAX_BARS = 8;
private int mBarsCount;
mBarsCount = 0;
public GoKart(String color) {
mColor = color;
mBarsCount = 0;
}
public String getColor() {
return mColor;
}
}

71,830 PointsChristian, you were supposed to initialize the mBarsCount variable only inside the constructor. You do it in two places. Here's the corrected code:
public class GoKart {
private String mColor;
public static final int MAX_BARS = 8;
private int mBarsCount;
public GoKart(String color) {
mColor = color;
mBarsCount = 0;
}
public String getColor() {
return mColor;
}
}
