./Example.java:8: error: class, interface, or enum expected GoKart someGoKart = new GoKart("green"); ^ 1 error

please help to find out what is wrong. GoKart class was defined in the previous Challenge. but this one acts like there is no definition about GoKart. Or am i missing something ?

Example.java 
public class Example {

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

GoKart someGoKart = new GoKart("green");

i moved the definition inside the class Example.. so worked. Seems we need to write everything literally inside a class? is that a must?

Hi Ahmet,

move the GoKart object inside the curly brackets of the main method. Outside the brackets the object is not visible for the compiler.
