where is my error?

i am asked to add constructor here, i think i added it correctly and set variables but code doesn't compile, what is wrong?

Spaceship.java 
public class Spaceship {
    public String mType;

  public Spaceship(String SHUTTLE){
    mType=SHUTTLE;
  }
    public String getType() {
      return mType;
    }

    public void setType(String type) {
      mType = type;
    }
}

Hi Martins! You're fairly close here, so I'm going to give some hints.

  • Your custom constructor should not take any parameters as indicated by the challenge instructions
  • mType should be set to the string literal "SHUTTLE"

I believe these two small hints might be enough, but let me know if you're still stuck! :sparkles:
