Challenge Task 3 of 4: Getter and Setter

The challenge is this: "Next, we need getter and setter methods for our member variable. Let's start with the getter method. Add a method to get the value of shipType."

Everytime i recheck the code, the error "Bummer! The naming convention is 'getVariableName'.". I need help

Spaceship.java 
public class Spaceship {

    public String shipType;

    public String getType() { 
        return shipType;
    }
}

Everything is said in the bummer message, the name of your getter method need to be : getVariableName, for now you have getType, but type isn't your variable name, your variable name is shipType so : getShipType() sould do it! Hope it helps !
