The error is somewhere in my while loop but I can't seem to find what I am missing!! Help please :(
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 boolean charge() {
boolean wasCharged = false;
if (!isBatteryEmpty()) {
mBarsCount--;
wasCharged = true;
}
return wasCharged;
}
public String getColor() {
return mColor;
}
public void charge() {
mBarsCount = MAX_ENERGY_BARS;
}
public boolean isBatteryEmpty() {
return mBarsCount == 0;
}
public boolean isFullyCharged() {
return mBarsCount == MAX_ENERGY_BARS;
}
while (charger.charge()) {
mBarsCount++;
System.out.println("Gulp!");
}
if (charger.isBatteryEmpty()) {
System.out.println("Tank is empty!");
}
}

This part of the code looks like totoally misplaced
while (charger.charge()) { mBarsCount++; System.out.println("Gulp!"); } if (charger.isBatteryEmpty()) { System.out.println("Tank is empty!"); }
which function this part belongs to? Please review placement of your { and }
If this answers your question, please mark the question as answered.

I figured it out! Thank you!
