2,892 PointsCant solve how to overload this method
I am currently on the last part of this section of the code challenge where I am asked to create the default value for the laps and adding back in a previous method.
My first part of this challenge passed
public void drive(int lapsToGo) {
lapsDriven += 1;
barCount -= 1;
}
The part I cant solve is the second step to allow a default value to pass by calling the newer drive method.
any tips area much appreciated.
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 lapsToGo) {
lapsDriven += 1;
barCount -= 1;
}
public void drive() {
lapsToGo = 1;
}
}
