2,562 PointsI'm stuck on the challange "Add a getter method that exposes the color field."
Hey,
I've been stuck on this challenge for a while now. I previously passed it but I didn't get to analyze what I did because the page loads to the points chart once you finish the last part of the challenge. I usually copy my code onto notepad before hitting check work but forgot this time. It keeps asking me if I forgot to return color but I'm sure I wrote the return part correctly. What am I missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
class GoKart {
private String color = "red";
public String getColor()
{
return getColor;
}
}

class GoKart {
private String color = "red";
public String getColor()
{
return color;
}
You were so close!
