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 mType.

Spaceship.java 
public class Spaceship {
  public String mType;

    public String getType() { 
    return mType;
}

From your posted code it looks like you are just missing a close bracket } at the end. Right now you have two open brackets and just one closed. Everything else looks good.

Hey Channon,

Looks like you are close. You just need to move your first closed bracket to the end of you code. Currently, your getType() method is not able to access the String variable mType because the closed bracket is right after mType; Make sure that your the first open bracket after Spaceship includes the whole block of code before putting the closing bracket.

Try the following and see if it will work for you:

public class Spaceship {
    public String mType;

    public String getType() { 
        return mType;
    }
}
