What is JavaTester.java:41:error:cannot find symbol if(Gokart.creationCount < 1) [ ^

Please help me understand this error. :) thanks

Example.java 
class GoKart{
  private String mColor;

  public GoKart(String assignColor){
    mColor =assignColor;
  }

  public String getColor(){
   return mColor; 
  }
  }

  public class Example {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("We are going to create a GoKart");
        GoKart Kart = new GoKart("blue");
        System.out.printf("The kart color is %s",Kart.getColor());
    }
}

Whoa! You broke the TestRunner!

You only need the Example.java file, don't worry about adding the GoKart class here, it exists elsewhere.

Sorry for the confusion!

I totally misunderstood the question and got the same error...might be nice if you reworded it.
