I wrote public final int MAX_BARS = 8 and it tells me to make it static so it can be accessed from the class.Anyone ?

public class GoKart {

  public static int MAX_BARS = 8;
  private String mColor;

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


  public String getColor() {
    return mColor;
  } 
}

I guess I'm lost, what should I do to make it static so it can be accessed from the class

public class GoKart {

  public static int MAX_BARS = 8;
  private String mColor;

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


  public String getColor() {
    return mColor;
  } 
}

Use both static and final
