I can't get this to work, cant figure out what is wrong!

This is what I am trying, I found it in the community, cant get it to work.

Spaceship.java 
public class Spaceship{
public String mType;
  public String getType() { 
    return mType;
  }
  public void setType(String, type) { 
    mType = type;
  }
}

Almost. There should be no comma between String and type in the setter method:

public class Spaceship{
  public String mType;

  public String getType() {
    return mType;
  }

  public void setType(String type) {  //no comma 
    mType = type;
  }
}
