class GoKart {
public static final int MAX_BARS = 8;
private String color;
private int barCount; // <-- right there is step bloody 1
public GoKart(String color) {
this.color = color;
}
public String getColor() {
return color;
}
public charge void() { // ok I don't get it, it wants a new method named charged....ok
barCount = MAX_BARS; // now set the new barCount field to MAX_BARS
}
}
but surprise surprise it don't work
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 charge void() {
barCount = MAX_BARS;
}
}

28,558 PointsThe issue is in your method declaration:
public charge void()
The return type (void
) has to be placed before the name of the method, not after. So if you simply flip the name and return type around like this:
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() { // Flip void and charge
barCount = MAX_BARS;
}
}
Then your code will work.
