4,855 PointsI am not sure what is wrong here. The compiler error doesn't make sense to me.
I am getting a compiler error when I try to use the getColor method on GoKart to return the new parameter as a part of the printed string. Code is attached. (says I cannot use a non-static method??)
public class Example {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("We are going to create a GoKart");
GoKart kart = new GoKart("red");
System.out.printf("We are going to make a GoKart that is %s\n", GoKart.getColor());
}
}

4,855 PointsThank you. I thought I was encountering a different error similar to one I've been having in workspaces. Made a poor assumption on this one.
