Compiler Error

I'm unable to solve the error !!

ERROR IS :-
JavaTester.java:63: error: constructor Spaceship in class Spaceship cannot be applied to given types; Spaceship ship = new Spaceship(); ^ required: String found: no arguments reason: actual and formal argument lists differ in length 1 error

Spaceship.java 
  import java.util.*;


public class Spaceship 
{

  static  public String shipType;
  static public String SHUTTLE;


  public Spaceship (String SHUTTLE)
  {
   this.shipType = SHUTTLE;
  }

    public String getShipType() {
      return shipType;
    }

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

Hi Vaibhav,

For task 1 the constuctor is not supposed to take any arguments so you shouldn't have anything in the parentheses.

Also, you have to set the shipType equal to the string "SHUTTLE" so you need to have quotes around it.

It probably won't hurt the challenge but you don't need this line static public String SHUTTLE;
