Hi Neelesh,

You are really close. In your printf line, you want ", //the thing you want to pass to %s" instead of a ".". When calling getColor(), you need to call it on something. In this case it would be the gokart you made named gk.

GoKart gk = new GoKart("blue"); // Creates a GoKart named gk with the color of blue
System.out.printf("The name of the color is %s", gk.getColor()); // Gets the color assigned to gk with the getColor() method and passes it to %s inside of the printf string
