You need to put the try|catch
block around the existing code, not call the method again.
The call to the drive()
method will throw the error, so wrap the handling of that error around the drive(2);
line:
try {
kart.drive(2);
} catch (IllegalArgumentException iae) {
System.out.printf(iae.getMessage());
}
That should work for you.
Steve.
