Next, we need getter and setter methods for our member variable. Let's start with the getter method. Add a method to get the value of shipType.
public class Spaceship{
public String shipType;
public String getshipType(){ return shipType;
}

Getters and Setters in Java have a variable name convention of getVariableName
. Therefore, the variable name should be getShipType
, not getshipType
. Also, you're missing a closing curly bracket after the return
statement. :-)
Post back if you're still stuck.
