do know how to do this

how to write this code

GoKart.java
public class GoKart {
  public static final int MAX_ENERGY_BARS = 8;
  private String mColor;
  private int mBarsCount;

  public GoKart(String color) {
    mColor = color;
    mBarsCount = 0;
  }

  public String getColor() {
    return mColor;
  }

  public void charge() {
    mBarsCount = MAX_ENERGY_BARS;
  }

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

  public boolean isFullyCharged() {
    return mBarsCount == MAX_ENERGY_BARS;
    while(!isBatteryEmpty()){
    System.out.println("Charging");
    }



  }

}

What exactly is the question? What did you try? What didn't work?

this challenge asks that you implement the missing details of the charge() method; and you're required to use ! symbol, while loop, and the isFullyCharged() methods for this task.

Let's use the ! symbol and a while loop. Inside the loop increment mBarsCount.

  public void charge() {
    while(!isFullyCharged()){  // make use of isFullyCharge() method as conditional check.
      mBarsCount++;            // increment mBarsCount.
    }
  }

Like such, and please only write the codes within the charge() method as instructed by the code challenge, and leave the rest of the code template intact.

I am trying the isFullyCharged method To charge the battery until it is fully charged and using while loop and incrementing mBarsCount inside it
