Java Java Objects (Retired) Meet Objects Creating New Objects

What is wrong here?

It's asking me to create object

Example.java
public class Example {

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

    }
}

Hi damir,

delete the dot (.) after GoKart .... and dont forget to add the color parameter to the GoKart object ("Red").

The code should look like this:

 GoKart goKart= new GoKart("Red");
// name the GoKart object, here goKart (not color)
// the color is your parameter that goes inside the parenthesis and needs " " because it is a String
// so the line means: create a GoKart object with the name goKart
// and give it a color parameter "Red" as a String

Makes sense?

Hi Damir.

When you want to create an object, you need to first say object type in this case it is "GoKart". You did this right.

The next step is to give it a variable name, you didn't do it, but always remember to do that, i gave it "goKartVariable".

Third step is to new the object, you did this right. The task ask you to insert a color into the constructor of the object, you do that by putting a string "" into the (); I did put "Blue" as the string color.

It´s very important that you DONT do this.

GoKart.color

Because you haven't created an object yet, so you wont be able to access it´s properties.

This is my solution:

public class Example {

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