Please check that is this code correct and please tell me where am I wrong.

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() {
     boolean isActuallyFullyCharged = false;
    while(!isFullyCharged()) {
     mBarsCount++;
      isActuallyFullyCharged = true;
    }
  }

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

  public boolean isFullyCharged() {

Try putting this:

isActuallyFullyCharged = true;

outside of the while loop like this:

public void charge() {
  boolean isActuallyFullyCharged = false;
  while(!isFullyCharged()) {
      mBarsCount++;
  }
  isActuallyFullyCharged = true;
}

Good luck! ~alex
