Where do we save and find the code that we will be writing throughout the course? I see there is a note that says the current code should be added to the previous code; how do we do that?
class GoKart {
public static final int MAX_BARS = 8;
private String color;
private int barCount;
public GoKart(String color) {
this.color = color;
}
//create a method that returns true if battery percentage is 0
public boolean isBatteryEmpty(){
return barCount == 0;
}
//create a method that returns true if the battery is fully charged
public boolean isFullyCharged(){
return barCount ==8;
}
public String getColor() {
return color;
}
public void charge() {
barCount = MAX_BARS;
}
}

Treehouse Project ReviewerHey there!
Are you referring to this notice above the code in the challenge?
In each task of this code challenge, the code you write should be added to the code from the previous task.
This just means that as you progress through the steps in this individual challenge, you'll build off of the code you wrote in the last step. So no worries on step 1, when you get to step 2, it just means build off of what you've done in the 1st. You're good to go 👍
