Courses Plus Student 8,401 PointsOk, I have tried it comes up with errors everytime.
public void drive(int laps) { int not enough battery = laps - mBarsCount; if (not enoungh battery > MAX_BARS){ throw new IllegalArgumentException("Not enough Battery"); } This is what I understod from the video.
public class GoKart {
public static final int MAX_BARS = 8;
private String mColor;
private int mBarsCount;
public GoKart(String color) {
mColor = color;
mBarsCount = 0;
}
public String getColor() {
return mColor;
}
public void drive() {
drive(1);
}
public void drive(int laps) {
int not enough battery = laps - mBarsCount;
if (not enoungh battery > MAX_BARS){
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Not enough Battery");
}
public void charge() {
while (!isFullyCharged()) {
mBarsCount++;
}
}
public boolean isBatteryEmpty() {
return mBarsCount == 0;
}
public boolean isFullyCharged() {
return mBarsCount == MAX_BARS;
}
}

Hope it will help you to solve your problem :)

Courses Plus Student 8,401 PointsThanks for the message. Could you explain how I was to divine that from the video?
Ilya Dolgirev
35,375 PointsFrankly, I believe it's just a common logic. You can't give me something if you don't have it. In this case, imho, it's obvious to check the battery level before driving.
BTW, not some concepts and ideas understandable from the first time. It's absolutely normal. Just take a quick break, try to solve it once again. If you got the same thing - ask for help. It's also absolutely normal :)
Robert Roberson
Courses Plus Student 8,401 PointsYes, except that method hasn't really been working for me. I just muddle along not seeing the logic and not completely understanding what is going on and sort just going through the pacing while other people tell me "you should do this." But, none of them are capable of explaining where I went wrong. Other than answers like "it is pretty logical what has to be done." and I am sure from your point of view it is. But I am still learning this. And I thought this forum was about learning. But it seems to be more about knowing and proving to those who don't, how much one knows and how much the other doesn't.
Robert Roberson
Courses Plus Student 8,401 PointsBut thanks anyway.
