Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 3,240 PointsI am trying to increment the code but it keeps canceling out the code ( private int lapsDriven;)
I feel really dumb right now. I have been trying to fix this code for hours but so far I have nothing. Any advice would be great.
class GoKart {
public static final int MAX_BARS = 8;
private String color;
private int barCount;
private int lapsDriven;
public GoKart(String color) {
this.color = color;
}
public String getColor() {
return color;
}
public void charge() {
barCount = MAX_BARS;
}
public boolean isBatteryEmpty() {
return barCount == 0;
}
public boolean isFullyCharged() {
return MAX_BARS == barCount;
}
public void drive() {
lapsDriven++;
}

"java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: ParseException: com.github.javaparser.ParseException: Encountered "<EOF>" at line 29, column 2. " Basically, it's telling you that you have an EOF(End of File) error on line 29.
class GoKart {
public void drive() {
lapsDriven++;
}
I erased everything except that drive function and the GoKart class declaration. I'm sure you can find the error looking at this -- if you haven't already figured it out before now. Good luck! :)
