57,712 PointsHi Michael,
You want to set the value of shipType
to be the same value as the parameter you have passed into the setter. That's called type
. So, inside your setter should read shipType = type;
(watch for correct capitalisation too)
Lastly, this is the method that sets shipType
- watch what you've called it - the convention is to camel case set
with the variable name, so that would be setShipType
and I expect that the challenge is expecting the method to be called that.
Make sense?
Steve.
