Java Java Objects (Retired) Meet Objects Constructors

Add a public constructor to the GoKart.java class that allows the parameter color to be passed in

The reaction to my code is: "Hmmm, looks like you've add a new field. Let's not go over board."

What is wrong with my code?

GoKart.java
public class GoKart {
  private String mColor;
  public GoKart(String color){
   mColor = color;
  }
  public GoKart color = new GoKart ("red");
  public String getColor() {
    return mColor;
  }
}

Hi Peter Price,

Everything is looking good, except this line should be removed:

 public GoKart color = new GoKart ("red");

Which leaves us with:

public class GoKart {
  private String mColor = "red";
  public GoKart(String color){
   mColor = color;
  }
  public String getColor() {
    return mColor;
  }
}

Which will pass the challenge.

If you have any other questions feel free to ask! Hope this helps!

I tried everything, except for that! Thanks a ton!!
