Hello, my code for this challenge is as follow:

class GoCart
{
    public void SetSpeed(int speed)
    {
        Debug.Log("The GoCart speed is: " + speed);
    }

    public void SetSpeed(int speed, bool turbo)
    {
        if (turbo)
        {
            Debug.Log("The GoCart is: " + speed * 2);
        }
        else
        {
            Debug.Log("The GoCart is: " + speed);
        }
    }
}

public class OverloadingChallenge : MonoBehaviour
{
    void OnDisable()
    {
        GoCart goCart = new GoCart();
        goCart.SetSpeed(10,true);
    }
}

Do same thing, but its simpler, wanna know what is wrong with it because when i do challenge like this and watch your solution it was different yet giving same result.
Dont understand/KNOW what problems can cause my approach (it can i suppose if you do this different way)?
Thx for reply in advance, cheers.

@bdmoakley Can you please help with this when you get a chance? Thank you - much appreciated! :]

In SetSpeed(), you are actually making your modifications to the speed parameter. That needs to be an instance variable. In the demo, notice I use ‘this.speed += 2’ instead of ‘speed += 2’. Currently, you are changing the speed but the state isn’t be recorded. I hope that helps!

@bdmoakley Remind me again why should i not repeat myself when coding. Ty.

Hello, I know this is kinda old but still, my code from the challenge was:

class GoKart
{

private int speed;
public bool Turbo;

public void SetKartInfo(int speed)
{
    this.speed = (Turbo = true) ? speed * 2 : speed;
    Debug.Log("Speed with turbo on " + speed);
}


public void SetKartInfo(int speed, bool Turbo)
{
    this.Turbo = Turbo;
    Debug.Log("Speed with turbo off " + speed);
    SetKartInfo(speed);

}

}

public class overloadHomework : MonoBehaviour {

void OnDisable()
{
    GoKart gokart = new GoKart();
    gokart.SetKartInfo(5, true);
   
}

}

I saw another similar comment but still wanted to check if this is wrong in any way bcoz it looks like it gives the same results. thanks.
