I just don't get what I need to do. Searching for help. Thanks)
class GoKart {
public static final int MAX_BARS = 8;
private String color;
private int barCount;
private int lapsDriven;
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;
}
public void drive() {
lapsDriven(MAX_BARS);
barCount(MAX_BARS);
}
public void drive(int lapsAmount) {
lapsDriven += lapsAmount;
barCount -= lapsAmount;
}
public void drive() {
drive(int);
}
}

So...
public void drive() {
drive(1);
}
