Hi S,

look at my code suggestion:

public class Example {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("We are going to create a GoKart");
      GoKart gokart = new GoKart("Red");
     // this line creates a new object "gokart" of the GoKart class
     // left side of the line is called declaration
     // right side is called assignment
      // Red is the color parameter or same as argument the you are paasing while the object is  reated
     // the creation is done by the construcror
      // thie "Red" parameter/argument is a String
      // and you can get it using a getter method like getColor()

      System.out.printf("The color is %s\n", gokart.getColor());
      // after you created a new instance of the GoKart class
      // instance is the same as object
      // you can access methods and variables of your GoKart class
      // the GoKart object is called gokart right ....
      // so call it and then use the "." sign
      // "." sign is like a long arm thet gets you almost everething from the class
      // here our method getColor() that returns the color you passed as parameter 
      // here "Red"
    }
}

Hope that hepls
