Halp on if and then statements and where it goes.

Question

Okay, so let's use our new isFullyCharged helper method to change our implementation details of the charge method. Let's make it so it will only charge until the battery reports being fully charged. Let's use the ! symbol and a while loop. Inside the loop increment mBarsCount.

How do you do this? I put the if and then statement I thought was right at the end.

GoKart.java

public class GoKart {
  public static final int MAX_ENERGY_BARS = 8;
  private String mColor;
  private int mBarsCount;
  boolean charge;

  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;
  }
   if (!isFullyCharged()) {
     mBarsCount++;
    }
  while(!isFullyCharged()){
    System.out.println("Charging");
  }
    return charge;
}

You need to change your "public void charge() method for this challenge :)
