mColor = color;
mBarsCount = 0;
}
public String getColor() {

}
public boolean isBatteryEmpty() {
return mBarsCount == 0;

According to the instructions, they want you to manipulate the charge method. So you should be able to move your code into the charge method before the mBarsCount assignment and pass.

you have to replace the code in the public void charge() method.
Right now
while (!isFullyCharged()) {
mBarsCount++;
}
is not within a method that's why you get a compiler error.
