Print out using System.out.printf the color of the new object, using the getColor method.

Does anyone know what is wrong with my code?

Example.java 
public class Example {
    public String mColor;
      public Example(String color){
      mColor = color;
      public String getColor(){
        return mColor
      }
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("We are going to create a GoKart");
        GoKart goKart = new GoKart("red");
        System.out.printf("The GoKart color is %s\n", goKart.getColor());

    }
}

It says in the output.html: System.out.printf("The result from the method is %s", goKart.getGoKart()); With an arrow under the "." after goKart

Hey Peter,

You are giving yourself more work than than you have to for this challenge, we don't need to declare a variable for Color, the testing code already has it available.

Really you have the code you need to pass the challenge, however cut off the top part and leave yourself with. 

public class Example {

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

That will pass the challenge.

Thanks shoot back if you're still having trouble.
