16,266 PointsThe challenge requires you to do two things -
- modify the current
drive()
method to include a parameter, which lets you adjust thelapsDriven
andbarCount
fields. - create a new
drive()
method which takes no arguments, and calls the exsitingdrive()
method, passing in 1 as the argument, thereby using method overloading.
First you should do step 1, and fix this method accordingly -
// the method needs an integer argument which lets you specify how many laps were driven
public void drive() {
// adjust lapsDriven & barCount accordingly
lapsDriven++;
barCount--;
// not sure what this line is for
MaxLaps < 4;
}
