constructor objective: err. invalid method declaration

The objective is to add a public constructor. I do it exactly as in the video but it returns an error: invalid method declaration; return type required.

GoKart.java 
public class GoKart {
  private String mColor = "red";

  public Gokart(String colorGokart){
    mColor = colorGokart;
  }

  public String getColor() {
    return mColor;
  }
}

You have a type-o in the constructor. The 'K' needs to be capitalized.

// Should match the class name
  public GoKart(String colorGokart){
    mColor = colorGokart;
  }
