Courses Plus Student 1,300 PointsOverload method question 2
HI guys im stuck on question two of the overloading method exercise. Does anyone have the answers?
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()
{
this.drive=1;
}
public void drive(int laps) {
lapsDriven+=laps;
barCount-=laps;
lapsDriven++;
barCount--;
}
}

I haven't done this exercise yet, but if I understand it correctly, you are to use the method drive(int laps) from within your method drive(), that is, use a call to the drive method with a int parameter from the method without any parameters. So you will have to pass it a suitable integer for what you want to accomplish. Does it make sense?
Good luck!

Courses Plus Student 1,300 PointsTHX for the help guys. My confusion was at the pass a 1. All I had to do was put the code fill(lapsDriven =1) inside of the new fill method . Also in Craigs video he used MAX_PEZ which was the equivalent to the MAX_BARS in this exercise so I got really confused.
