compiler error for my code. please help

In don't understand what is wrong with my code. I'm sure it will seem dumb and obvious, but I need some help.

Example.java 
public class Example {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("We are going to create a GoKart");
      GoKart goKart = new GoKart("red");
      System.out.printf("The color is %s\n",gokart.getColor());
    }
}

Hi Uriah,

You created the object and called it goKart then missed out the capital K when you used it. 

GoKart goKart = new GoKart("red");
System.out.printf("The color is %s\n", gokart.getColor()); // capital K needed

Steve.

you need to use the variable name with the correct capitilization you use gokart when it should be goKart =)
