Hi there,

This is a getter method, which returns the member variable:

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

  public String getColor(){
    return mColor;
  }
}

So the method returns a string and takes no parameters. Inside, it just returns the member variable mColor.

I hope that helps,

Steve.
