i am getting red , but still its saying null

what is wrong?

public class GoKart { public String mColor = "red"; puvlic void getColor() { System.out.printf("the color is",+mColor): } }

GoKart.java 
public class GoKart {
  public String mColor = "red";
  public void getColor()
  {
    System.out.printf("%s",mColor);
  }
}

Look at the line where you declare your 'getColor' method. You have spelt public as 'puvlic'. Correct this and then everything should work fine!

I also noticed Arjun that in the printf methods parameters in one case you have put a '+' before mColor which may be causing you some issues.
