Question

i did not understand the quetion

GoKart.java

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() {
    mBarsCount = MAX_ENERGY_BARS;
  }

  public boolean isBatteryEmpty() {
    return mBarsCount == 0;
  }

  public boolean isFullyCharged() {
    return mBarsCount == MAX_ENERGY_BARS;
  }
  while(")

}

Anish, TH wants you to rewrite the charge() method so it uses the isFullyCharged() method instead of just setting mBarsCount to the max number of bars.:

  public void charge() {
    while (!isFullyCharged()) {
      mBarsCount++;
    }
  }

Here mBarsCount is incremented in a while loop as long as isFullyCharged() is not (!) true.

Hey Anish,

in this challenge you have a GoKart class that implements the 'charge' method.

The challenge wants you to change the method, so that it does use a while loop which checks if the battery is full by using the "isFullyCharged" method. If it is not (! - is the symbol for not) mBarsCount should be incremented (increased in steps).

  public void charge() {
    // use while(), isFullyCharged() and '!' symbol in this method now.
  }

Kind Regards, Florian
