Class issues in Java

In Java Objects, I had to write a class,

public class GoKarts {

}

Yet it will not except it, does anyone know why?

GoKart.java 
public class GoKarts {

}

Nevermind I reopened the page and did the exact same thing, which work (no clue why, I wrote the same code).

If your file is GoKart.java then your class should be named GoKart- without the 's'.

The class should've been called GoKart in singular, not GoKarts in plural :) The way the question was phrased I see it was an easy mistake to make! Make sure to always double-check the question and the file name when something isn't working :)
