832 PointsIm trying to add a public constructor to a class that allows the parameter to be passed in.
And in the constructor i need to store the argument color in the private field. I have followed the same pattern that has been shown in the previous video. But I am getting this error:
./GoKart.java:4: error: invalid method declaration; return type required public Gokart(String color){ ^ 1 error
Thank you for your help.
public class GoKart {
private String mColor;
public Gokart(String color){
mColor = color;
}
public String getColor() {
return mColor;
}
}
