Appreciate help with constructors code. Having trouble with the logic flow and have checked previous questions.

Question

The excercise: Add a public constructor to the GoKart.java class that allows the parameter color to be passed in. In the constructor store the argument color in the private color field. 
public class GoKart {
  private String mColor;
  public GoKart (String Color);{
    mColor = Color;}
  //public Gokart gokart = new GoKart("red");
  public String getColor(); {
    return mColor;
  }
}
GoKart.java
public class GoKart {
  private String mColor;
  public GoKart (String Color);{
    mColor = Color;}
  //public Gokart gokart = new GoKart("red");
  public String getColor(); {
    return mColor;
  }
}

Remove the semicolon after the constructor parenthesis.
```java
public class GoKart {
  private String mColor = "red";
  public GoKart(String color) {
    mColor = color;
  }
  public String getColor() {
    return mColor;
  }
}
```

Thanks Vitor but I now have 2 errors: ./GoKart.java:6: error: missing method body, or declare abstract
  public String getColor(); {
                ^
./GoKart.java:7: error: return outside method
    return mColor;
    ^
