3,783 PointsJava Challenge Question Help
I'm new to the coding and Java, and the challenge question is quite confusing for me to understand. I'm not sure how I can implement the while statement and ++ increments as the question asks.
public class GoKart {
public static final int MAX_ENERGY_BARS = 8;
private String mColor;
private int mBarsCount;
public GoKart(String color) {
mColor = color;
mBarsCount = 0;
}
public String getColor() {
return mColor;
}
public void charge() {
mBarsCount = MAX_ENERGY_BARS;
}
public boolean isBatteryEmpty() {
return mBarsCount == 0;
}
public boolean isFullyCharged() {
boolean isFullyCharged = false;
if (mBarsCount == MAX_ENERGY_BARS) {
while (!isFullyCharged) {
mBarsCount ++;
isFullyCharged = false;
}
}
return mBarsCount == MAX_ENERGY_BARS;
}
}

public void charge() {
while (! isFullyCharged()) {
mBarsCount++;
}
}
