Getting about ten compiler errors on this code and none of them make sense.

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

Can somebody tell me what is wrong with this? I am getting a ton of compiler errors that do not help at all. This makes no fucking sense and I am getting really fucking sick of this shit. It is all on this single fucking bit of code.

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() {
    mBarsCount = MAX_ENERGY_BARS;
  }

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

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

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

}

You write the while loop code outside the function scope. It need to be inside a function.

Thanks a lot. I apologize for the language. I was beyond frustrated.
