Courses Plus Student 8,401 PointsI thought for sure I was right but clearly I am not.
Really don't know what to do more with this.
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 void drive() {
// Other driving code omitted for clarity purposes
drive(MAX_BARS);
}
public void drive(int laps) {
mBarsCount -= laps;
public void charge() {
while (!isFullyCharged()) {
mBarsCount++;
}
}
public boolean isBatteryEmpty() {
return mBarsCount == 0;
}
public boolean isFullyCharged() {
return mBarsCount == MAX_BARS;
}
}

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 void drive(int laps) {
// to start this method
mBarsCount -= laps;
}
public void charge() {
while (!isFullyCharged()) {
mBarsCount++;
}
}
public boolean isBatteryEmpty() {
return mBarsCount == 0;
}
public boolean isFullyCharged() {
return mBarsCount == MAX_BARS;
}
public void drive() {
// we use this
drive(1);
}
}
Important to know is just:
public void drive(int laps) {
// ....to start this method
// to do this "lap-thing"
mBarsCount -= laps;
}
public void drive() {
// we use this....
// starts the drive methods with the argument and give it "1" as an argument
drive(1);
}

Courses Plus Student 8,401 PointsThank you, Tobias. But that is not at all what I learned in the video.

Courses Plus Student 8,401 PointsYour answer was great. But why does he drone on in the pez video thing about something entirely different, if that is not what we are going to do in the exercise?
