Qeustion about Overload methods

Can someone pls tell me what is wrong with my code?

GoKart.java 
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;
  }
d
  public boolean isFullyCharged() {
    return MAX_BARS == barCount;
  }

   public void drive()
 {
   drive(1);

   lapsDriven += lapsCount;
   this.barCount -= lapsCount;

You have a letter d on it's own on line 22 which does not belong there. If you remove that your code should pass.

It's also worth mentioning that you don't need to append this to the barCount variable, doing so won't cause an issue but it also isn't doing anything useful. You mostly only need to prepend variables with this when you are setting a field variable equal to a parameter which has the same name. The this helps Java distinguish between the two identically named variables.
