393 PointsHow should the get method be used here?
Not sure what I'm doing wrong here?
public class Example {
public static void main(String[] args) {
GoKart kart = new GoKart("black");
System.out.println("We are going to create a GoKart");
System.out.println("GoKart color will be", kart.getColor());
}
}

You are super close on this.
The only thing that needs to change is that your second print statement should be System.out.printf().
This is because are passing in the value directly into the string, and not just hard typing it in.
It should look something like below.
System.out.printf("GoKart color will be %s", kart.getColor());
Remember we want to use %s as a place older for the position of where we want to pass in the value.
Otherwise, you are all set.
This might just be me being nitpicky, but you might also want to move your GoKart creation to underneath the "We are going to create a new GoKart!
Your way works fine, but it does lead to better read code, which is really a picky thing to bring up, but I thought I would.
