How to create a new file for the object GoKArt?

Where can add a new file for GoKart.java?

Example.java
class GoKart{
  private String mColor;

  public GoKart(String assignColor){
    mColor = assignColor; 
  }
  public String getColor(){
   return mColor; 
  }

}

public class Example {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("We are going to create a GoKart");
        GoKart newKart = new GoKart();
    }


}

You forgot to pass in the color parameter

public class Example {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
      GoKart newKart = new GoKart("blue");  // make sure to pass in a color parameter
        System.out.println("We are going to create a GoKart");
    }
}

Don't worry about creating the GoKart class definition in this example, it's already created. Just instantiate it. You are super close!
