542 PointsI just can't understand the question.
where should I put IllegalArgumentException and how I will give condition to this.
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() {
drive(8);
}
public void drive(int laps) {
lapsDriven += laps;
barCount -= laps;
if(barCount<0){
throw new IllegalArgumentException();
}
}
}

Right now, the code here is changing the fields, and then testing the result. But the instructions say to check first.
