Problem with code creating object for GoKart color.

Ah you're nearly there.

The problem is that you've put the variable goKart and the method getColor in quotation marks. If you were to run this it would print "goKart, getColor", which isn't what you want. You want it to print "red.".

You also need to add brackets after getColor, as it is a method.

What you're trying to do is use the getColor method (ie getColor()) on the goKart object to get it to tell you that its red.

So:

Change the 5th line from :

System.out.printf("goKart,getColor");

To :

System.out.printf(goKart.getColor());

Oh and I also just realised-you have a comma, I think, after goKart? (my screen is tiny and I can't quite see). If so, you need to change this to a full stop.

Hi joe,

The problem in your code is with printf statement.

so, in System.out.printf you have to specify the format specifier like %d for int and %s for string in your code when you call goKart.getColor() it returns a string hence you have to use %s as format specifier!. your code will work if you use the following code

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("%s",goKart.getColor());
    }
}

hope this helps ! Happy coding :)
