i am confused how to update the method body to utilize the new parameter lapsToGo
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;
}
public boolean isFullyCharged() {
return MAX_BARS == barCount;
}
public void drive(int lapsToGo) {
lapsDriven++;
barCount--;
}
}

by one, and decrease barCount
by one. The challenge is to change the method such that those variables are increased/decreased by the numbers of laps passed into the function.
So if lapsToGo
contains the number 5 lapsDriven
should be increased by 5, and barCount
should be decreased by 5.
