1,124 PointsIt won't let me continue putting this code
This is the code for the exercise and i think this is bugged
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(){
lapsDriven += 1;
}
}

17,062 PointsHi how ur doing?
lets solve this with 3 steps:
1.First we are asked to delcare a private variable called lapsDriven
private int lapsDriven;
2.Second we are asked to declare a public method called drive which will be used in order to increase the lapsDriven variable, u were asked to use the shorthand to increase the variable, ur answer is correct but the complier **wants u to use (++) instead (+=) which in fact 2 of them are valid:
public void drive()
{
lapsDriven++;
}
3.in the end u asked to substract one barCount after each lap u drive and u need to use the shorthand for that as well:
public void drive()
{
lapsDriven++;
barCount--;
}
I hope u understand that :}

1,124 Pointsok thank you ! i was using lapsDriven +=
