Add a public constructor? Java

This is what i have, 

class GoKart {
  private String color = "red";

  public String Color() {
    return color;
  }

}

  }

After being asked;

"First, define a public constructor that expects a String argument named color. (Don't worry about adding any code inside the constructor just yet, we'll do that next.)"

p.s it has been a few days since i did the lesson and i might need a reminder of the concepts.

Thanks.

Full disclosure: I don't know Java. I googled constructors for Java and I think this should do what you want:

class GoKart {
  private String color = "red";

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

I'm not sure if your code will work but this passed the test thing, i clicked later and re watched the video on it.

here is the code that passed for reference ;

class GoKart {
  private String color;

  public GoKart(String color) {
    this.color = color;
  }

  public String getColor() {
    return color;
  }

}
