the check work option wont give me a run down on mistakes either
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 isFullyCharged() {
return mBarsCount == MAX_ENERGY_BARS;
while (!MAX_ENERGY_BARS) {
mBarsCount++;
}
}
}

The hint was that the changes should be to the charge method.
public void charge() {
// instead of simply setting to Max value
// mBarsCount = MAX_ENERGY_BARS;
// While the Kart is not fully charged...
while (!isFullyCharged()) {
// ...increment the charge
mBarsCount++;
}
}
// leaving isFullyCharged as originally provided
public boolean isFullyCharged() {
return mBarsCount == MAX_ENERGY_BARS;
}
