please add public before String ;

In java have private,public,protected,default modifier

public class GoKart{
    public String colorOfGoKart = "red";
}

Thanks all, I tried to like this public class GoKart{ String colorGoKart = "red"; }

it errored out but once i added public String colorGoKart it worked! thanks!
