869 PointsHow do I set barCount to MaxBars?
I got this message and I don't understand what it means. Make sure you set the GoKart's barCount to MAX_BARS in the charge method
class GoKart {
public static final int MAX_BARS = 8;
private int barCount;
private String color;
public GoKart(String color) {
this.color = color;
}
public String getColor() {
return color;
}
public void charge(int MAX_BARS, int barCount) {
barCount = Max_BARS;
}
}

1,463 PointsYou're close, get rid of everything in the () in the charge method. What you are doing is making a new variable called barCount and a new constant called MAX_BARS and ignoring the ones already there. Which means that inside the {} they are affecting the variable/constant from inside your () and not the ones declared on lines 2 and 3. I hope this helps.

869 PointsThank you for the reply. I have fixed it. I forgot to use caps lock for MAX_BARS. Instead I used Max_BARS.
