method charge

Finally, let's add a method named charge. It should be public and return nothing. When called it should set mBarsCount to the value of the constant you declared in Task 1.

public class GoKart {

  public static final int MAX_ENG = 8;
  private String mColor;
  private int mBarsCount;

  public GoKart(String color) {
    mColor = color;
    mBarsCount = 0;
  }

  public void load() {
  mBarsCount = MAX_ENG;

  }

  public String getColor() {
    return mColor;
  } 
}

I dont understand where to put this method Thanks.

GoKart.java 
public class GoKart {

  public static final int MAX_ENG = 8;
  private String mColor;
  private int mBarsCount;

  public GoKart(String color) {
    mColor = color;
    mBarsCount = 0;
  }

  public void load() {
  mBarsCount = MAX_ENG;

  }

  public String getColor() {
    return mColor;
  } 
}

You can put the method anywhere inside your GoKart class

public void charge() {

mBarsCount = MAX_ENG;

}
