Getting an error when creating public field with a String value of "red"

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. Can someone point me to the right step?

public class GoKart { public String mColor = "red";

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

Hello Bojana,

It looks like you just need the closing brace.

public class GoKart {
  public String mColor = "red";
}

Regards,

Chris
