Incrementing and decrementing Challenge Task one

Question

Added on line 17 what I think its asking me. However, it just says, "Bummer, please add a new private int field named lapsDriven".
```GoKart.java
class GoKart {
  public static final int MAX_BARS = 8;
  private String color;
  private int barCount;
  public GoKart(String color) {
    this.color = color;
  }
  public String getColor() {
    return color;
  }
  public void charge() {
    barCount = MAX_BARS;
  }
  private int lapsDriven() {
  }
  public boolean isBatteryEmpty() {
    return barCount == 0;
  }
  public boolean isFullyCharged() {
    return MAX_BARS == barCount;
  }
}
```

In the question it is actually saying to declare the member variable " private int lapsDriven "  not the method .
So the program will look like:
class GoKart {
  public static final int MAX_BARS = 8;
  private String color;
  private int barCount;
  private int lapsDriven; // member variable private
  public GoKart(String color) {
    this.color = color;
  }
  public String getColor() {
    return color;
  }
  public void charge() {
    barCount = MAX_BARS;
  }
  public boolean isBatteryEmpty() {
    return barCount == 0;
  }
  public boolean isFullyCharged() {
    return MAX_BARS == barCount;
  }
}
