Treehouse TeacherThe getColor method was created in the previous code challenge.
This is looking for you to just call it.
HINT: Something like this:
SomeObject something = new SomeObject();
System.out.printf("The result from the method is %s", something.getSomethingElse());

Treehouse TeacherCall your method getColor as the second param to printf

541 PointsI think there is a bug in the quiz. When I typed in what should have been marked as correct...
public class GoKart {
private String getColor = "red";
public String getColor() {
return getColor;
}
}
... The message "Bummer! The method name should match more or less your field name. Expected getolor" So I had to change getColor to getolor to get credit.
public class GoKart {
private String getolor = "red";
public String getColor() {
return getolor;
}
}
...and this ^^^ was counted as being correct. I logged into the quiz again to see if the same mistake came up and what came up was 'Bummer! The method name should match more or less your field name. Expected getetColor.
So I changed getColor to getetColor and what came up this time was ...'expected getetetColor'... so I changed it to getetetColor and then it wanted getetetetColor lol.
