Adding a custom constructor

Now add a second constructor that takes a String parameter. Use this parameter to update mType to a specific type of spaceship. Am failing to add this code

Spaceship.java 
public class Spaceship {
    public String mType;
    public Spaceship ()  {
mType = "SHUTTLE"; 
    }
    public String getType() {
      return mType;
    }

    public void setType(String type) {
      mType = type;
    }
}

You need to parameterize the string. By that I mean include the variable in the parameters of the constructor.

Public Spaceship(String paramType){ mType = paramType; }
