18,814 PointsYou've got a couple of syntax errors in your last print line, but you have the right idea.
public class Example {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("We are going to create a GoKart");
GoKart kart = new GoKart("red");
// System.out.println("The color of the Go Kart is %s \n" mColor.getColor() ;
System.out.printf("The color of the Go Kart is %s \n", kart.getColor());
// You're formatting the string, so use printf instead of println here.
// I'm not sure where mColor came from, but you want to get the color of the kart you just created.
}
}
