return barCount == 0;
}
i.e. Remove everything after the barCount==0;
.
Edit: You have too many closing braces, and it seems like you're nesting the isBatteryEmpty
method inside the charge
method. You also have an extra 2
on line 5 that shouldn't be there.

Courses Plus Student 443 Pointsyes it worked thank you but why do you add the second brace at the end

wouldn't have the closing brace.

If that still doesn't work, you may have to contact support because it worked for me (just tested it).
