2,297 PointsSorry, here is the question: Create a new method named drive that accepts no arguments. It should call the newer drive method passing in a 1 for the default.

1,677 PointsIt passes a 1 to the other drive method as a default number. Basically it's just in case the method is called without a parameter being sent to it so it has a default number to use. Hope that helps
