Courses Plus Student 771 Pointsplz i need help with my java challenge question
Now create a helper method named isFullyCharged. It should return true if the GoKart is at max capacity.......i have tried changing some this int he method but still is not working
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 boolean isBatteryEmpty() {
return mBarsCount == 0;

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

89,414 PointsHi Mate,
i don't know if you need to make an if statement to check for the answer because its been a while since I made this challenge and I couldn't get bothered watching the videos again so i just made this solution and it works but I guess there are better ways to do it.
Cheers Toby.
public boolean isBatteryEmpty(){
if (mBarsCount == 0) {
return true;
}
else {
return false;
}
}
public boolean isFullyCharged(){
if (mBarsCount == MAX_BARS) {
return true;
}
else {
return false;
}
}
