Private color field

Hello,

I am able to construct the constructor so that the exercise says "correct" and allows me to continue, but I do not know how to set the private color field in the constructor. Where exactly should that be done? Thank you.

GoKart.java 
public class GoKart {
  private String mColor = "red";

  public GoKart (String color) {
    mColor = color;
  }

  public String getColor() {
    return mColor;
  }
}

mColor was declared as private You just have to assign your color from constructor to that field and you did it.
