1,121 PointsNeed help with my Syntax
I'm not sure what is wrong with my syntax. I've looked it over so many times, and I can't seem to find what is wrong with it. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
public class GoKart {
public static final int MAX_ENERGY_BARS = 8;
private String mColor;
private int mBarsCount;
public GoKart(String color) {
mColor = color;
mBarsCount = 0;
}
public String getColor() {
return mColor;
}
public void charge(){
while (!isFullyCharged()){
mBarsCount++;
}
public boolean isBatteryEmpty() {
return mBarsCount == 0;
}
public boolean isFullyCharged() {
return mBarsCount == MAX_ENERGY_BARS;
}
}

23,733 PointsYou are missing a closing } for the loop:
public class GoKart {
public static final int MAX_ENERGY_BARS = 8;
private String mColor;
private int mBarsCount;
public GoKart(String color) {
mColor = color;
mBarsCount = 0;
}
public String getColor() {
return mColor;
}
public void charge() {
while (!isFullyCharged()){
mBarsCount++;
}
}
public boolean isBatteryEmpty() {
return mBarsCount == 0;
}
public boolean isFullyCharged() {
return mBarsCount == MAX_ENERGY_BARS;
}
}

1,121 PointsI am answering myself because it was a stupid mistake. I forgot the } for my while loop. Duh!

16,239 PointsI found it I think! You need to indent the line mBarsCount++; Or else you get a syntax error! See if that works :)
