The double parenthesis is because it's a method, which accept no input parameters. It simply returns characterName when you call the method, and the characterName is Yoda.

class Figure 
{
   private string characterName = "Yoda"; 

   public string getCharacterName()
   {
   return characterName;
   }
}
