can someone please help me with this challenge...

Hey Omer,

Here is the code you were given:

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        GoKart kart = new GoKart("yellow");
        if (kart.isBatteryEmpty()) {
          System.out.println("The battery is empty");
        }
        kart.drive(2);
    }
}

What the challenge is saying that when we call the drive method, an exception will be thrown. First off, do you remember how to handle exceptions? One way that we are to use here is through try-catch blocks. We will try to run some code but if there is some sort of problem/error, we run the code in the catch block.

First, locate where the drive() method is. Surround it with a "try" block. The challenge says an IllegalArgumentException will be thrown when the code is run. That means we have to catch that exception and print it out. Seeing how you passed the previous challenge, I believe you will be able to do this. I have attached the answer if your still stumped.

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        GoKart kart = new GoKart("yellow");
        if (kart.isBatteryEmpty()) {
          System.out.println("The battery is empty");
        }
                try { 
          kart.drive(2);
        } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
         System.out.println("Error: " + e); 
        }
    }
}

The e is simply just a variable for the exception to avoid rewriting "IllegalArgumentException"

Hope that helped and happy coding,

Kevin
