1,509 Points"error: reached end of file while parsing } ^ 1 error"
Hi, I'm unsure of the error that I have. It's something to do with the brackets but I've already tried to move and play around with each one of them. I checked all of my open brackets and thought they've all already been closed. I re-watched the videos many times but still can't seem to find the error. What could it be?
public class Example {
public static void main(String[] args) {
GoKart kart = new GoKart("purple");
if (kart.isBatteryEmpty()) {
System.out.println("The battery is empty");
}
try {
kart.drive(42);
} catch (IllegalArgumentException iae) {
System.out.println("Alert");
System.out.printf("The error was %s", iae.getMessage());
}
}
class GoKart {
public static final int MAX_BARS = 8;
private int barCount;
private String color;
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() {
drive(1);
}
public void drive(int laps) {
int newAmount = barCount = lapsDriven;
if (laps > MAX_BARS) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Not enough battery remains");
}
barCount = newAmount;
}
}

Courses Plus Student 3,773 PointsI think you missed one curly brace in your Example.java .
public class Example has an opening curly brace but no closing curly braces.

1,509 PointsThank you so much! You were correct. I got confused with which bracket went to which
