Challenge Task 1 of 2 Hi Looking for the full code can't pass the challenge. If I can see the code then it is clear.

Challenge Task 1 of 2

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

One way of solving that, is using the setter that is available to you just above where you should put your code in the task. Check the code below and good luck!

public Spaceship(){
      setShipType("SHUTTLE");
    }

Thanks for responding Kaian. I am still getting compiler errors. Could you post all of the code so it can pass the task? I must be missing something.

Spoiler Alert:

public class Spaceship { public String shipType;

public Spaceship() { setShipType("SHUTTLE"); } public Spaceship(String shipType) {
 this.shipType=shipType; }
 public String getShipType() {
  return shipType;
}

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