its not working

I have declared the object public final int MAX_BARS = 8; Buttt its not passing the argument for some reason

GoKart.java 
class GoKart {
  public final int MAX_BARS = 8;
  private String color;

  public GoKart(String color) {
    this.color = color;
  }

  public String getColor() {
    return color;
  }

}

Hi there! You're doing great. You named the constant the correct thing and made it public and final. What you forgot, though, was to also make it static.

Somewhere in that line you also need the word static. I'll leave the placement up to you, but I think you can get it with these hints! :sparkles:
