How do I make a new GoKart

Question

I understand everything separately, but I don't know how to put it all together

Example.java

public class Example {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("We are going to create a GoKart");
        GoKart color = new GoKart
        System.out.printf("The GoKart is %s\n", dispenser.getColor());

    }
}

1) Your current code names the new GoKart color, rather than uses a color as a parameter for the new GoKart.

We know that the GoKart class has been specified so that its objects need one parameter, which is color. What we're going to do is choose a color and put it in double quotes, so that it is a string (remember that the mColor variable from the previous challenge was a String.) I chose red in my example.

2) You will want to call the getColor() method on the new GoKart object. Since the GoKart object (I've named mine newKart) is a new instance of GoKart, it has a getColor() method.

        GoKart newKart = new GoKart("red");
        System.out.printf("The GoKart is %s\n", newKart.getColor());

Hopefully my explanations have made the idea of constructors and how they can be called to create/instantiate objects a little clearer.
