compiler error

Why does the compiler say that I need a "}" at the end of line 6

GoKart.java 
public class GoKart {
  private String mColor;

  public GoKart color (String GoKartColor ) {
   mColor = GoKartColor;
  }

  public String getGoKartColor() {
    return mColor; 
  }

}

Ethan,

You made a method named color that should return a GoKart instead of making a constructor:

 public GoKart(String GoKartColor ) {
   mColor = GoKartColor;
  }

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Chris
