How to 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 = "red";
public String getColor() {
return mColor;
}
}

The constructor is always called the same as the class - it is what runs when an instance of the class is created.
In this case, we want to be able to create the instance of the class and have a GoKart of a selected colour result.
So, the constructor is called like: GoKart greenCart = new GoKart("green");
so we need to add a method to do that.
Something like:
public GoKart(String color) {
mColor = color;
}
So, the class is created and the member variable, mColor
is set to the string passed into the constructor as a parameter.
I hope that makes sense!
Steve.
