almost done!
try this :
GoKart goKart = new GoKart();
//you need to call the constructor "GoKart" (your second GoKart word, not myKart)
//for calling the constructor you used a "new" word.
//At the same time the constructor creates a new object of the GoKart class
//goKart is a reference variable that references the object GoKart
//this is the word that you need to use methods (Getters and Setters)
System.out.printf(goKart.getColor("red"));
//here you use the reference goKart to call the methods in the GoKart class
//so you need to code goKart then (.) and then the method you need - getColor()
//. is like a TV controller that you need to call methods
//The output will be RED, because you had "red" inside the "= new GoKart("red");" statement
//you gave "red" to your constructor.He needs a String color as an argument. And in your case its "red"
Let me know if you need more help
