java objects challenge task 2 of 2

Great! Now let's create a similar method named isFullyCharged that checks to see if the current bar count is at the maximum charge.

i keep getting "Make sure your isFullyCharged method is checking for equality between barCount and MAX_BARS."

GoKart.java 
class GoKart {
  public static final int MAX_BARS = 8;
  private String color;
  private int barCount;

  public GoKart(String color) {
    this.color = color;
  }

  public boolean isBatteryEmpty () {
    boolean isActuallyEmpty = barCount == 0;
  }

  public boolean isFullyCharged (){
    return barCount;
  }

  public String getColor() {
    return color;
  }

  public void charge() {
    barCount = MAX_BARS;
  }
}

Bar count is an integer, but the method is returning a boolean. You need to create an equality statement so that it will evaluate to true or false.
