I need to print out, but keep getting an error on the last line! Any help to resolve this will be much appreciated

public class Example {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("We are going to create a GoKart");
             GoKart anoda = new GoKart("color");
      System.out.printf("%s",anoda.color);
    }
}

Yeah - you don't need the String handling, either - I just looked at the challenge. It can look something like this:

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("We are going to create a GoKart");
        GoKart redKart = new GoKart("RED");
        System.out.printf(redKart.getColor());
    }

I hope that makes sense.

Hi there,

Isn't the method to retrieve the color called getColor()?

Try, System.out.printf("%s",anoda.getColor()); - let me know if that helps.

I initially tried the getColor, obviously omited the beackets .
