Java Objects

These GoKarts have a single rechargeable battery that have a display of bars to measure its energy level. Each battery has a maximum of 8 bars.

For this task, let's add a constant field to the class that stores the maximum number of energy bars. Make sure the field cannot be changed and is accessible from the class, not just the instance. Use the naming convention we learned.

Let's understand this problem step by step.All hints are provided in problem statement. <ul> <li>1. Use final keyword ( Hint - Make sure the field cannot be changed)</li> <li>2. Use public & static keyword (Hint - is accessible from the class, not just the instance ) </li> <li>3. Use Upper Case letter's for defining constants (Hint - Use the naming convention )</li> </ul>

public static final int GO_KART= 8 ;

This will be solution to above problem.i used "GO_KART" for variable name.You can use any name as you wish.I use underscore for my naming conventions because if you see JAVA API documentation then you will observe that most system defined constant are use _ (underscore) in between to word.
