First... Chill.

Looks like the incrementing question.

You don't need to create a new method as you already have one for charge.

Move your code up to the charge method and add brackets as shown below.

  public void charge() {
    while (!isFullyCharged()) {
      mBarsCount++;
    }
  }

Hi Emily,

Sorry you are frustrated. I'm trying to follow your complaint through the forum, and I think you'll find that questions that include code and a well thought out question actually do get answered, very frequently.

Based on the past 5 questions, all but one had an answer, and from what I could deduce, the correct answer, however they were not acknowledged as being the best answer. Are you still stuck on those?

Not sure what the caps lock tirade was attempting to accomplish, but if there is something I can do to help you here I'd be glad to do so, despite the tone.

I apologize for missing the time when you needed help so bad. I am in the process of writing the latest course, and I was heads down this week.

If you'd like to talk more about this in a less public setting please feel free to email me directly.

Again sorry that you got this frustrated, and please select best answer on the problems you are no longer stuck on.

Hope you are feeling better and back at it,

Craig
