The prompt is : The code in Main.java is going to throw an IllegalArgumentException when the drive method is called. Catch it and warn the user.
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
GoKart kart = new GoKart("yellow");
if (kart.isBatteryEmpty()) {
System.out.println("The battery is empty");
}
kart.drive(2);
}
}

Catch it and warn the user.
:)
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
GoKart kart = new GoKart("yellow");
if (kart.isBatteryEmpty()) {
System.out.println("The battery is empty");
}
// wrap this up in a try/catch
try {
kart.drive(2);
} catch(IllegalArgumentException iae) {
// warn the user. In this case he wants the string from .getMessage()
}
}
}
Let me know if that helps.
