Question

I added this line after the mColor declaration.

public setColor(String color){mColor = color;)

It should be a public constructor with a String type parameter and should set the private "mColor" to the value of "color".

While it says that there is a compile error, which is that I didn't specify a return type.

GoKart.java

public class GoKart {
  private String mColor;
  public setColor(String color){mColor = color;}
  public String getColor() {
    return mColor;
  }
}

A constructor will always have the same name as the class:

public GoKart(Color color) {
  mColor = color;
}

Unlike a constructor, all other methods must specify a return type.
