Hi Shilpa,

getColor is a method, so you need to include parentheses after calling it.

public class Example {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("We are going to create a GoKart");
        GoKart goKartObject = new GoKart("green");
        System.out.printf("the color of the gokart is %s" , goKartObject.getColor());
    }
}

Hope that helps!
