Courses Plus Student 1,644 PointsAppreciate help with constructors code. Having trouble with the logic flow and have checked previous questions.
The excercise: Add a public constructor to the GoKart.java class that allows the parameter color to be passed in. In the constructor store the argument color in the private color field.
public class GoKart { private String mColor; public GoKart (String Color);{ mColor = Color;} //public Gokart gokart = new GoKart("red"); public String getColor(); { return mColor; } }
public class GoKart {
private String mColor;
public GoKart (String Color);{
mColor = Color;}
//public Gokart gokart = new GoKart("red");
public String getColor(); {
return mColor;
}
}

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

Courses Plus Student 1,644 PointsThanks Vitor but I now have 2 errors: ./GoKart.java:6: error: missing method body, or declare abstract public String getColor(); { ^ ./GoKart.java:7: error: return outside method return mColor; ^
