I've complited the first task by making a field, that should store the number of bars in a battery (8). Here's what I wrote:
public class GoKart {
private String mColor;
public static final int MAX_BARS = 8; //that was written for the 1. task
public GoKart(String color) {
mColor = color;
}
public String getColor() {
return mColor;
}
}
But now, I'm stuck at the 2. task:
Now let's add a private uninitialized field to store the current number of energy bars. Name it mBarsCount. Initialize it to zero in the constructor.
I don't understand, what to do.

3,794 Pointsyou are creating a member variable that will store the current number of bars in the GoKart. it should look something like this java <p> private int mBarsCount; <p/> The variable is declared but it is not defined. In its current state is simply a place to store input later. Inside the GoKarts constructor you will define mBarsCount as 0. In case you are wondering where the constructor is, it is the line of code just below where you have MAX_BARS defined. Make sure that you set the mBarsCount variable outside of the constructor. I hope this helps!
