To whomever this may concern,
I am getting an error from Treehouse telling me I did not reach the standards, but that is when I take of 'public' from 'public class GoKart', what do I do, I am stuck. Thanks in advance!
public class Example {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("We are going to create a GoKart");
public class GoKart {
private String mColor = "red";
}
}
}

1,957 PointsThank you for responding orbyt,
I got an error that is somewhat like this: illegal start of expression That error is what I got when I kept the 'public' but then when I got rid of it I got "Did you create an object?", you can try the challenge on your own at (Learn Java > Java Objects > Creating New Objects)

In this case, you simply need to use:
GoKart goKart = new GoKart(color);
The constructor takes a String parameter IIRC, so simply enter a String of a color. Let me know if you need help on the second part of that quiz.

I have seen your reasonable comment, but I would like to know why there is a 'goKart', It came it to my curiousity when I realized that 'goKart' was never mentioned in the script. I still have not tryed it yet, because I would like to understand and then write.

56,413 PointsYou already have GoKart defined in a separate file (from the previous challenge). Here you only need to use the constructor you made previously.

public class Example {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("We are going to create a GoKart");
}
class GoKart {
private String mColor = "red";
}
}
This code declares a class within another class, but I'm not sure if that is what you intended to do.

1,957 PointsGreetings Enrique Munguia,
That did not seem to work for me but I don't know if I even did it right.

10,358 Pointsim not sure if you can use an access modifier for a local class (your class thats inside a method, in this case the main() method).
What exactly is the error your getting?
