Confused

I think I didn`t quite understand this. Watched the videos a couple times.

Example.java
public class GoKart {
  public String mGoKart = new GoKart("color");
        mGoKart= GoKart;
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("We are going to create a GoKart");



    }
}

Hi oskar,

like james say you need to create the object after public static void main(String[] args) { GoKart goKart = new GoKart("blue");

above the main method this place call class and this is where you set fields...hope it make sense for you :)

Hi Oskar,

I've just had a look at the code challenge and I'm not sure what you've done in the source code above. The question provides you with:

public class Example {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("We are going to create a GoKart");
    }
}

The question then asks you to: create a new GoKart object using the GoKart class, passing a single parameter of the colour.

Adding the line:

GoKart goKart = new GoKart("blue");

Below the System.out... line should complete the challenge. That line means:

Create an object of type GoKart called goKart, use the constructer in the GoKart class to create this object and pass into that constructer the string "blue" (which is the colour).

Hope that helps.
