4,063 PointsThe task asks you to create constant field for the maximum number of energy bars that cannot be changed and is accessible from the entire class. To make the field accessible from the whole class you'll want to initialize it as a 'public' field, and to make it unchangeable you'll want to add the 'final' and 'static' keywords. When you're instructed to use the learned naming convention, Craig is talking about capitalizing each letter and putting an underscore between each word. "MAX_SCORE" would be an example following this naming convention. And since this field is constant you'll want to assign it a value at the sometime that you initialize it.
