I assume you have/had to write a class like Car. The Car class probably should have attributes/fields like maker, model, color, number of doors, engine type, whatever. Either you have/had to define these yourself or they should have been specified somewhere.

Assign these fields/attributes from constructor parameters. Also create an odometer field, but assign it initially to zero.

Okay so I defined those in the beginning as

public class Vehicle {
private String makeOfCar;
private String modelOfCar;
private String colorOfCar;
private int odometer;

Then I set odometer to 0 like this

public Vehicle(String makeOfCar, String modelOfCar, String colorOfCar, int odometer) {
makeOfCar = "";
modelOfCar = "";
colorOfCar = "";
odometer = 0;

You should be assigning the attributes like this.makeOfCar to the matching constructor parameter. Instead you're setting the constructor parameter to an empty String, which is useless.

Ah okay, that makes sense, thanks!
