Not accepting answer

for this is asks for you to changed the charge() method so that it will increment 1 until battery is fully charged.. using a while loop and the syntax !.. my answer is :

while(!isFullyCharged()){mBarsCount++;}

GoKart.java 
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() {
    while(!isFullyCharged())
    {mBarsCount++;}
  }

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

  public boolean isFullyCharged() {
    return mBarsCount == MAX_ENERGY_BARS;
  }

}

Are you getting a compiler error? It looks sane to me.
