The quiz is saying that my set method is wrong and i cant seem to see why its not working?

The compiler is also saying i am missing a return statement which also makes no sense since its a setter method.

Spaceship.java 
public class Spaceship{

  public String mType;

  public String getType(){

      return mType;
  }

  public setType(String mType){
      this.mType = mType;

  }



}

Hello,

In 

  public setType(String mType){
      this.mType = mType;

  }

the function itself is missing whether you want to return something(and if so, what type) otherwise it needs to be void. For example

public void someMethod(int someInt) {
// Does some stuff but no return statement
}

Please let us know if this clears things up for yourself or if you need more assistance and we can help further.
