8,728 PointsWhen I add a getter, it says that task one is no longer passing......I change it back and task one passes, put code in for getter and task one doesn't pass but there is no errors for task 2.......I'm at a loss.

8,728 PointsI figured it out, I needed to add a new mTypeLabel under existing code and add my getter.......I just keep running into formatting errors as far as where to put the syntax.

5,381 Points@Ben, where really you are getting a problem? Anywhere if its getter method eg getType() with a return type String enables well encapsulated application. This will enable other class to access this method rather than to change the actual member variable eg mType in the getType() method in Spaceship.java.
