some constructors. First, add a default constructor with no parameters. Inside the constructor, set shipType to SHUTTLE

Let's continue with our custom data model. We need some constructors. First, add a default constructor with no parameters. Inside the constructor, set shipType to "SHUTTLE".

Spaceship.java 
public class Spaceship {
    public String shipType;

    public String getShipType() {
      return shipType;
    }

    public void setShipType(String shipType) {
      this.shipType = shipType;
         public Spaceship(String shipType) {
shipType = "SHUTTLE";

    }
}

Your constructor is inside setShipType - take it to outside the brackets.

public class Spaceship {
    public String shipType;

    public String getShipType() {
      return shipType;
    }

    public void setShipType(String shipType) {
      this.shipType = shipType;
    }

    //No parameters
    public Spaceship() {
        this.shipType = "SHUTTLE";
    }


}
