this is the code for the exercise
public class Example {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("We are going to create a GoKart");
Example GoKart = new Example();
}
}
its compiling and giving the correct output, but treehouse keeps saying "use the new keyword to create a gokart"

In this challenge, you want to create a new GoKart object. Here, you're creating a new example object with the variable name of GoKart.
With this information, see if you can rearrange that line to create a new GoKart object.
Here's the syntax for a variable in Java again if it helps:
ObjectType variableName = exampleValue;
Hope it helps but if you're still stuck, give me a shout :)

14,780 PointsSure thing! I'll try and rephrase what I've said.
Here is what you have written:
Example GoKart = new Example();This created a new variable called GoKart of the type Example. We then set it to a new instance of the Example class.
What we want to do however, is create a new variable with a descriptive name (goKart in camel-case is a good bet!) of the type GoKart and set it to a new instance of the GoKart class.
See if this explanation helps you better. If you're still stuck, I can provide you with the answer so that you can see where you've gone wrong but I'd much rather you try and solve it for yourself You learn a lot better that way :)

14,780 PointsHey again Abdur!
You were close! Remember that the GoKart object is case-sensitive! Change this and the code will pass :)

14,780 PointsOne last thing now!
The question asks you to pass in "a single parameter, color."
color is a String so just pass in any color you want,
"red,"blue","green"etc... the choice is yours!This is passed in within the parentheses of the GoKart() constructor.
