6,502 PointsWhere do we implement the while loop? Also are we modeling the GoKart charging or discharging like the PezDispenser?
I am confused by what the question is asking. I have created the if and then statement and I believe it is correct, however, I have no idea where to implement the while loop or how?
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;
}
public void charge() {
mBarsCount = MAX_ENERGY_BARS;
}
public boolean isBatteryEmpty() {
return mBarsCount == 0;
}
public boolean charged() {
boolean wasCharged= false;
if (!isBatteryEmpty()){
mBarsCount--;
wasCharged= true;
}
return wasCharged;
}
public boolean isFullyCharged() {
return mBarsCount == MAX_ENERGY_BARS;
}
}

28,694 Pointsit accepts:
public void charge() {
while(!isFullyCharged()){
mBarsCount++;
}
//mBarsCount = MAX_ENERGY_BARS;
}
this replaces the existing charge method.
