No Idea why this does not run

public class Example {

private String mKartColor;

public GoKart (String kartColor){ mKartColor = kartColor; }

public String getkartColor(){ return mKartColor; }

public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println("We are going to create a GoKart");
    GoKart Name = new GoKart("red");
    System.out.printf(Name.getkartColor());
}

}

Example.java
public class Example {


  private String mKartColor;

  public GoKart (String kartColor){
    mKartColor = kartColor;
  }

  public String getkartColor(){
    return mKartColor;
  }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("We are going to create a GoKart");
        GoKart Name = new GoKart("red");
        System.out.printf(Name.getkartColor());
    }

}

The challange already provide the class GoKart...it is already created by the challange (also i think you had to create it in the earlier challanges). It would be annoying to write everything agian... Most code you wrote is already part of the class GoKart. With GoKart SomeName = new GoKart("Color") we create a new instance of that class... which provides us the method getColor();

This simple code will pass the challange

public class Example {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("We are going to create a GoKart");
        GoKart Kart = new GoKart("Blue");
        System.out.println(Kart.getColor());
    }
}
