Please create a new GoKart object. As you know it takes a single parameter, color.

Hello TreeHouse Community,

Several errors have been detected, and i got hard time detecting them. English is a second language, so this post may contained orthographics mistakes as well.

My main issue is with the line color.getColor. since color=mColor, then, Why would we have to do it two time?

I hope i have been enough clear to be understandable,

thanks for your answer,

Example.java 
public class Example {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("We are going to create a GoKart");
      GoKart gokart = new GoKart("red");
      system.print.out("Fuck it, dope it %s\n", color.getColor());                               
    }
        public String GoKart {
          private string mColor; 

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

          public String getColor () {
          return mColor;
    }

        }

Hi Aymeric,

It looks like you're really close, but there are a few things that you may want to change. We can assume that the GoKart class has already been created -- so there is no need to create a GoKart class. The challenge has asked us to use System.out.printf. Please see the following code:

public class Example {

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

The %s is a place holder for a variable in the printf statement. Then we simply call goKart.getColor() to get the color we passed in via the constructor when we declared the goKart object in task 1.

If you have any further questions don't hesitate to ask! Hope this helps!
