6,882 PointsIllegalArgumentException?
I need some hint on what kind of exception to add to this. Any help is appreciated
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() {
drive(1);
}
public void drive(int laps) {
// Other driving code omitted for clarity purposes
int newLaps = mBarsCount + laps;
if (MAX_BARS < 0) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Not enough battery remains");
}
mBarsCount = newLaps;
}
public void charge() {
while (!isFullyCharged()) {
mBarsCount++;
}
}
public boolean isBatteryEmpty() {
return mBarsCount == 0;
}
public boolean isFullyCharged() {
return mBarsCount == MAX_BARS;
}
}

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 23,916 PointsYou are throwing your exception correctly, just the if statement is not appropriate. It should read:
if (mBarsCount < laps) {
// code
}
