464 PointsHow can i catch the "drive" method being called?
I do not understand the question! The battery is empty but the code "kart.drive(2);" drives it two laps and I need to catch that, but how???
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);
throw new IllegalArgumentException("The battery is empty!);
}
}

At about 3:12 in the video Exceptions, Craig explains how to write a try / catch block.
Also, for this challenge, we don't want to throw an error, we just want to catch an error if one occurs.
If you're still stuck after watching that part of the video, please let me know.
Hope this helps,
Cheers

dispenser.load(400);
} catch (IllegalArgumentException iae) {
System.out.println("Whoa there!");
System.out.printf("The error was: %s%n", iae.getMessage());
}
Above, is the code example to follow. Instead of dispenser.load, you are trying kart.drive
