Android Development Techdegree Student 3,594 PointsJava Objects: drive Method / public / lapsDriven / variable of 1
Great! Now let's write a simple drive method. It should be public and not return anything. We'll start out basic, calling the drive method will make the GoKart drive a single lap.
In your newly created drive method, increment the new lapsDriven variable by 1. Use the incrementing shorthand to increase lapsDriven.
I'm stumped. I honestly don't know what to input next for this question. When I do make entries to what I think will work, the system comes back every time with "It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing."
class GoKart {
public static final int MAX_BARS = 8;
private String color;
private int barCount;
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;
}
private int lapsDriven = 1; {
}
}

What do I put next for the question above?
