5,404 PointsAlso, if your trying to set the string color equal to the parameter, do this:
class GoKart {
private String color = "red";
public Gokart(String color){
public this.color = color;
}
public String getColor() {
return color;
}
}

This is probably what you meant:
public Gokart(String color){
this.color = color;
}

Treehouse TeacherCheck the case between your constructor and the name of the class. They need to be exactly the same.
Hope that helps!
