i dont know where am going wrong.My u help please.
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() {
while (!isBatteryEmpty()) {
mBarsCount ++;
isFullyCharged = false;
}
return mBarsCount == MAX_ENERGY_BARS;

Change isFullyCharged back to how it was originally, from your previous challenge.

Treehouse TeacherI think you should leave the isFullyCharged method alone, and just use charge
Edwin Amaya

public boolean isBatteryEmpty() {
return mBarsCount == 0; //
}
ps to the admins: i dont know how to enter "code" i used the back ticks like the markdown sheet said but it doesnt format the code
Craig Dennis
Treehouse TeacherHey Edwin,
I fixed your answer and I did it by adding 3 back ticks on a line followed by the word java (If you edit it you can see it) and then followed it with 3 backticks.
Thanks!

The backticks work OK on their own but are much better if you stipulate the language after the first three.
Make sure you're not using back slashes or single quotes too. I'll reformat your comment now to demonstrate, go in and edit it after I have done that to see the markup displayed.
Steve.
