Courses Plus Student 70 Pointshow to set shipType to a specific type of Spaceship in this question?
I've added the second constructor Spaceship(String shipType)
public class Spaceship {
public String shipType;
Spaceship()
{
shipType="SHUTTLE";
}
Spaceship(String shipType)
{
this.shipType= new Spaceship();
}
public String getShipType() {
return shipType;
}
public void setShipType(String shipType) {
this.shipType = shipType;
}
}

Treehouse TeacherHi Kumar! Inside the second constructor you're setting 'shipType' equal to a new Spaceship. This doesn't work because 'shipType' requires a String, but it's being set to a Spaceship. Instead you need to use the 'shipType' parameter to update the 'shipType' member variable:
this.shipType = shipType;
Hope that helps!
