Constructors

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".

On the question above, I have added the constructor but I still get a compilation error. Following from Ben's tutorial, I believe that I have done the right thing

Spaceship.java
public class Spaceship {
    public String shipType;

    public String getShipType() {
      return shipType;
    }

    public void setShipType(String shipType) {
      this.shipType = shipType;
      public Spaceship(){
      setShipType("SHUTTLE");

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


    }
    }
}

your code is ok you just have placed it inside the previous method, the setter, instead of after it, and you appear to have an extra }. you have also modified the setter which is not necessary.
