394 PointsHow do I call the getColor method within printf statement?
I'm getting back a 'cannot find symbol error', is it not 'GoKart.getColor()' ?
public class Example {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("We are going to create a GoKart");
GoKart myKart = new GoKart("blue");
System.out.printf("The color of my kart is %s", GoKart.getColor());
}
}

System.out.printf("The color of my kart is %s", myKart.getColor());
