public class GoKart{
}
Then it's asking to to create a public String that contains the color of the GoKart in a String which means in quotation marks like this:
public String mGoKartColor = "red";
Put it together and you have:
public class GoKart{
public String mGoKartColor = "red";
}

18,106 PointsHi
prefixing a class variable with the letter m is simply a Java naming convention that means it's a 'member' variable and belongs to the entire class. in short you don't have to do this but it is a good idea as it is expected by other programmers, by following conventions you will write code very similar to other programmers making it easier all around to share code when or if you do so in the future.
Hope this helps
