Adding Custom Cunstructor

I am can't figure it out , what it is the error. It is saying unexpected return type. Help me. Check my code below:

Spaceship.java 
public class Spaceship {
    public String mType;

  public Spaceship(){
    mType = "SHUTTLE";
  }

  public Spaceship(String Type){
    Type = mType; 
    return Type;

  }

    public String getType() {
      return mType;
    }

    public void setType(String type) {

Hi Gnani,

you can use this code:

// first constructor for TASK 1
 public Spaceship() {
    mType = "SHUTTLE";
  }

// second constructor for TASK 2
  public Spaceship(String otherType) {
   mType = otherType; 
// no return needed just assign your argument to the mType
  }

Makes sense?

Grigorij
