How to solve this question?

I am confused about the question and how to solve it?

GoKart.java
public class GoKart {
  public static final int MAX_BARS = 8;
  private String mColor;
  private int mBarsCount;

  public GoKart(String color) {
    mColor = color;
    mBarsCount = 0;
  }

  public String getColor() {
    return mColor;
  }

  public boolean isBatteryEmpty() {
   return mBarsCount == 0;
  }

  public void charge() {
    mBarsCount = MAX_BARS;
  }

   public boolean isFullyCharged() {
     return mBarsCount == MAX_BARS;
    }
  }
}

Srishti,

Took me a bit to spot it, but I think you've got a syntax error in your code. When I try what you have above I get the following:

"There is a compiler error. Please click on preview to view your syntax errors!"

When I check the error I see the following:

./GoKart.java:27: error: class, interface, or enum expected
}
^
1 error

Which points to line 27. The error is that you have one too many closing curly braces. The end of your code should look like this:

    public boolean isFullyCharged() {
        return mBarsCount == MAX_BARS;
    }
}

Hope this helps.
