public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println("We are going to create a GoKart");
  GoKart kart = new GoKart("Blue");
  System.out.printf("We are going to creat a %s\n", getColor());
}

public class Example {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("We are going to create a GoKart");
      GoKart kart = new GoKart("Blue");

You need to specify that the getColor method is being called on the goKart object.

eg

GoKart goKart=new GoKart("blue"); System.out.printf(goKart.getColor());

It's actually kart.getColor since the reference to the object is kart but yup, you are right!

System.out.printf(goKart.getColor()); Worked for me. Thanks

That's because you copied Edith's string. Edith's string used GoKart and YOUR string used kart. So to fix your code it's kart to copy Edith's it's well, copy paste.
