Not sure what you are asking here. Can you provide some code of what you are trying to do that does not work?

Mahvish,

to create an object in Java you need to use the word "new", the name of the class (the object is created of) and parenthesis with arguments (if the class has defined such arguments). If you look how to create a GoKart object it should look like this:

GoKart gokart = new GoKart();
// gokart is the name ob the object from the GoKart class
// it takes no arguments (parenthesiss is empty

GoKart gokart = new GoKart("Red");
//  this is an object of the GoKart class too
// that takes a String argument "Red" that represents a color

Makes sense?
