help with a constructor in Java please

A public constructor should allow 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;
  }
}

Hi Roman,

This is my solution.

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

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

  public String getColor() {
    return mColor;
  }
}

Regards! Chunwei
