how do i make a public field that will store the colour of the GoKart red?

question : Now let's temporarily add a public field that we will use to store the color of the GoKart. Let's make it the set to the String of "red".

im stuck :(

GoKart.java 
public class GoKart {
  public String mColour;

  mColour = "red";
}

Hi Ben,

Everything is fundamentally correct, but mColour = "red" needs to be set in the same line.

Please see the following code:

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

}

Hope this helps! If you have any questions ask away!
