Courses Plus Student 538 PointsI have added the drive method, I am not recalling how to increment using shorthand. May I have a little assistance?
I am on Challenge Task 2 of 3 for the Increment and Decrement lesson. I have added the drive method. After that, it is asking to use short hand to increase the "lapsDriven" by 1 each time around the track. I am not recalling how to do this after watching the lesson.
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 drive() {
lapsDriven = 1;
}
public void charge() {
barCount = MAX_BARS;
}
public boolean isBatteryEmpty() {
return barCount == 0;
}
public boolean isFullyCharged() {
return MAX_BARS == barCount;
}
}

or lapsDriven++
