THIS ISN'T LIKE THE VIDEO!!! AAAHHHH!!!

I'm trying translate what I learned from the video but it isn't going well, to say the least! I'm getting lost and frustrated primarly becuase I do not like not understanding something. Can someone explain where I am going wrong and why?!

Example.java 
public class Example {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("We are going to create a GoKart");
      GoKart = new GoKart(String mColor);
    }
}

This worked for me for creating a new GoKart object

        GoKart mykart = new GoKart("blue");

Hi,

I had the same problem when I did that course. Hanley was right. The reason it wouldn't work was because you have to declare a String outside of all curly brackets (except for the first one after the class name) and then you have to declare what mColor is, "blue", if you want to put in a different color it doesn't matter.

Hope this helps.
