6,198 PointsI don't understand how I am getting a String type error in a constructor.
I am finishing up making an interactive story app with BEN.
I am on the last challenge. When I make a new constructor. Put (String ship) in the parameters. Then type
public void TypeOfShip(String ship) { mType = ship; {
Why am I getting an error saying that I need to have a parameter that is a String Type. When I believe I do have one. So I am confused.
public class Spaceship {
public String mType;
public String mTypeOfShip;
public Spaceship(){
mType = "SHUTTLE";
}
public void TypeOfShip(String Ship){
mType = Ship;
}
public String getType() {
return mType;
}
public void setType(String type) {
mType = type;
}
}

public Spaceship() {
mType = "SHUTTLE";
}
public Spaceship(String type) {
mType = type;
}

Thank you so much
