GoKart task 1 no longer passing charge()

Once again this site grates on me with it's fundemental lack of support or indication of error.

It's like a website that teaches Java but only for Java experts.

Here's my code:

class GoKart { public static final int MAX_BARS = 8; private String color; private int barCount;

public GoKart(String color) { this.color = color; }

public String getColor() { return color; } public void charge() { barCount = MAX_BARS; }

when I click submit after adding the charge() method it tells me task 1 is no longer passing. So I go back to task 1 and it is passing, so i go to task two, add the charge() method and it tells me...

well I'm sure you get the picture.

Anyone able to tell me if this is my error or a bug?

Either way anyone have a solution?

Thanks, James.

it often says a previous task is no longer passing when you introduce an error in the current task. however i pasted your code in and it passed. edit to add that in my experience not-very-useful error messages is common in programming and to me is not unique to TH.

Thank you, it seems I'll have to just skip this but it's rather frustrating especially when paying for a premium service.
