17,961 PointsConstructor declaration
On MeetObjects, I created a constructor for my GoKart, and got the error
Make sure that the constructor accepts a color
What did I do wrong? I got no compiler errors.
public class GoKart {
private String mColor = "red";
public void GoKart(String color){
mColor = color;
}
public String getColor() {
return mColor;
}
}

In a nutshell, you don't have a constructor in your class. In Java constructors don't have return types, even void. From a technical standpoint you have created a method called GoKart in the GoKart class, not a constructor. If you remove the return type from your code it will work just fine.
Happy coding,
