I need help with challenge task 1 of 3 add a constructor

I would like visual explanation. and help to beat the threw the first part of the challenge

GoKart.java
class GoKart {
  private String color = "red";

  public class GoKart ( String color ) {
    mColor = color;

1 Answer

I cannot provide a visual however, you shouldn't be putting class on the constructor. That is incorrect, a constructor should be just the class name.

ie,

public class GoKart {
   public GoKart( String color ) {
     // do something
   }
}
