Add a public constructor to the GoKart.java class that allows the parameter color to be passed in. In the constructor store the argument color in the private color field.
my code:
public class GoKart {
private String mColor = "red";
private GoKart.java(String color) {
mColor = color;
}
public String getColor() {
return mColor;
}
}

you need to make the constructor public since the task asked for that to be the access modifier
constructors in java generally look like this:
public ClassName() {
// do stuff
}
remove the .java from your constructor and make the method public
public GoKart(String color) {
mColor = color;
}

If you look at about the 1 minute mark in the video Mr. Dennis shows the example and gives the instruction.
Also, for future posts, please follow the instructions on this link for posting code.
