Can someone pls show me how the answer looks like

Create a new method named drive that accepts no arguments. It should call the newer drive method passing in a 1 for the default.

GoKart.java
class GoKart { public static final int MAX_BARS = 8; private String color; private int barCount; private int lapsDriven;

public GoKart(String color) { this.color = color; }

public String getColor() { return color; } public void charge() { barCount = MAX_BARS; }

public boolean isBatteryEmpty() { return barCount == 0; }

public boolean isFullyCharged() { return MAX_BARS == barCount; }

public void drive(int laps) { lapsDriven+= laps; barCount-= laps; } }

It looks like you've already done the harder first task.
Give this one your best "good faith" try, and if you still have trouble post your new code here.
