I need help with this task

//Now add a second constructor that takes a String parameter. Use this parameter to update //mType to a specific type of spa

Spaceship.java 
public class Spaceship {
    public String mType;

    public String getType() {
      return mType;
    }

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

}
}

Hey Amon,

You're close! The casing for the mType variable in your parameterized constructor is wrong. Make the T in the variable capital so it will be mType = type.

I hope this helps.
