What is wrong with my code? I did exactly the same as on the movie. public static final MAX_BARS = 12;

class GoKart {

//I add only this line public static final MAX_BARS = 12;

private String color;

public GoKart(String color) { this.color = color; }

public String getColor() { return color; }

}

  1. The constant is missing its data type
  2. The initial value isn't 12, double check the challenge instructions for the right number
