I think it is correct
class GoKart {
private String color = "red";
public getColor() {
return color;
}
}

class GoKart {
private String color = "red";
public String getColor() {
return color;
}
}
// Returns the String variable 'color', which is equivalent to "red"
'color' is a String type variable, thus the method must be set to return that type of data.
In extension, if 'color' were of type Integer, the method would have to return 'int':
class GoKart {
private int color = 8;
public int getColor() {
return color;
}
}
// Returns the Integer color, which would be 8 in this case
