597 Pointsjava objects- the part when you throw an exception when laps cant be completed due to battery level. neep help. Thank u.
if (int laps > MAX_BARS) { throw new IllegalArgumentException("Not enough battery remains."); }
what i though of so far
public class GoKart {
public static final int MAX_BARS = 8;
private String mColor;
private int mBarsCount;
public GoKart(String color) {
mColor = color;
mBarsCount = 0;
}
public String getColor() {
return mColor;
}
public void drive() {
drive(1);
}
public void drive(int laps) {
// Other driving code omitted for clarity purposes
mBarsCount -= laps;
if (int laps > MAX_BARS) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Not enough battery remains.");
}
}
public void charge() {
while (!isFullyCharged()) {
mBarsCount++;
}
}
public boolean isBatteryEmpty() {
return mBarsCount == 0;
}
public boolean isFullyCharged() {
return mBarsCount == MAX_BARS;
}
}
