    mBarsCount = 0;
  }

  public String getColor() {

  }

  public void drive(int laps) {
    // Other driving code omitted for clarity purposes
    mBarsCount -= laps;
  }
  public void drive() {
    // Other driving code omitted for clarity purposes
   laps -=1;
  }

  public void charge() {
    while (!isFullyCharged()) {

The challenge wants you to create a method called drive that takes no arguments, but performs the exact same task as calling the drive(int laps) method does with 1 as the argument.

Doing so is actually simpler than you might think, all you have to do is call the drive(int laps) method with 1 as the argument within your new drive method like this:

public void drive() {
   drive(1);
}

In Java it is completely valid to call one method from within another method, and because they have different signatures (different number and types of parameters) it won't be confused by the fact that you have two different methods called drive.
