3,051 PointsChallenge: Great! Now let's create a similar method named isFullyCharged that checks to see if the current bar count is
I am really stuck on this part and I have tried other solutions to this challenge with no success. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
class GoKart {
public static final int MAX_BARS = 8;
private String color;
private int barCount;
public GoKart(String color) {
this.color = color;
}
public String getColor() {
return color;
}
public void charge() {
barCount = MAX_BARS;
}
public boolean isBatteryEmpty() {
if (barCount == 0) {
return true;
}
else { return false; }}
}
public boolean isFullyCharged() {
if (barsCount == MAX_BARS); {
return true; }
else { return false; }}
}

231,184 PointsYou're close, but I see 3 issues:
- there's a stray closing brace on line 22 between the two new methods
- there's a stray semicolon on line 24 between the conditional expression and the open brace
- also on line 24 there is "barsCount" (with an extra "s") instead of "barCount"
Tip: structuring your code like the course examples will make it much easier to spot issues like misplaced braces.

3,051 PointsThank you so much Steven! I tried many different variations and tried correcting a bunch of things, but that is what ultimately what worked. Thanks!
