help me to insert a constructor in Java code please

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.

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

  public String getColor() {
    return mColor;
  }
}

public GoKart(String color) { this.mColor = color; }

so a constructor is created by having a class name without the class part. This should work. Also here is the Oracle documentation on constructors.
