#
Im currently trying to add a total of cards shown to my binary project. What is confusing is that I am supposed to: call ‘setCount’ on ‘counter’ and pass in the ‘total’ I am very new to Java and really don't understand what is being asked here. this is the 2 methods that I am dealing with. I need to implement this in the updateCounter method. Any help would be greatly appreciated. public void updateCounter() { int total = calculateTotal(); Counter counter = getCounter(); } private int calculateTotal() { int total = 0; for ( Card card: getCards ()) { if (card.isShown()) { card.getValue(); total++; } }

It might need to look something like this. 
public void updateCounter()
    {
        int total = calculateTotal();
        Counter counter = getCounter();
        counter.setCount(total);
    }
private int calculateTotal()
    {
      int total = 0;
      
      for ( Card card : getCards ())
            {
                if (card.isShown())
                    {
                        total += card.getValue();
                    } 
            }
      return total;
    }
"total++" will simply increment the value of "total" by 1. It would count the number of cards that are currently being shown instead of the value of the card.
