I am having trouble understanding "Please create a new GoKart object. As you know it takes a single parameter, color."? I tried some code but it's not correct. Please help. I don't know what code or where to place my code.
public class Example {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("We are going to create a GoKart");
GoKart = new color();
}
}

I guess this challenge continues on from either a previous one or from the course itself. I don't know as I've done neither.
Essentially, it is relying on you knowing that the constructor for the GoKart class creates a nrw instance of a GoKart and requires one parameter which is a string representation of a colour.
So, the line of code that does this would look something like:
GoKart redKart = new GoKart("Red");
That declares a variable of type GoKart before the equals sign, allocating a GoKart-sized chunk of memory for that purpose then, after the equals sign, initializes the variable by executing the constructor which then fills the chunk of memory with the instance of a GoKart which is "Red".
That code should be placed after the println statement in the challenge.
I hope that makes sense.
Steve.
