Print Out for GoKart, Task 1 no longer works

So I have done exactly what we did in the previous lesson but it tells me that my Task 1 is no longer working. I cannot tell what is wrong. Please help!

Example.java
public class Example {

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

You have made a typo, look at your printf statement. You have written "s%", it should be "%s".

Thank you! I realized it soon after I sent the question. :-/
