6,569 PointsThe Preview doesn't show any errors
am I doing this correctly?
The compiler preview doesn't show any errors. What's the problem with my code?
Thanks, Laith

15,193 PointsisFullyCharged is a method so you have to treat it like one by including the parenthesis ().
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;
}
//notice all i did was add parenthesis
public void charge() {
while( !isFullyCharged() ) {
mBarsCount++;
}
}
public boolean isBatteryEmpty() {
return mBarsCount == 0;
}
public boolean isFullyCharged() {
return mBarsCount == MAX_ENERGY_BARS;
}
}
