JavaScript Object-Oriented JavaScript Getters and Setters Creating Setter Methods

hi guys i m trying to do this exercise and i dont understand why my solution is not correct.

what i did:

  • created a setter giving a parameter of major; -created a backing property _major to store the value;
  • and created a conditional using the getter level to know who is senior or junior... ;

thanks in advance for your help if u have any feedback about how i wrote the code and my question. i m happy to hear them

creating_setters.js
class Student {
    constructor(gpa, credits){
        this.gpa = gpa;
        this.credits = credits;
    }

    stringGPA() {
        return this.gpa.toString();
    }

    get level() {
        if (this.credits > 90 ) {
            return 'Senior';
        } else if (this.credits > 60) {
            return 'Junior';
        } else if (this.credits > 30) {
            return 'Sophomore';
        } else {
            return 'Freshman';
        }
    }

    set major(major){
      this._major = major;
      if (this.level === "Senior" || this.level === "Junior"){
        this._major = ''major;
      } else {
        this._major =  'None';
      }
    }
}

var student = new Student(3.9, 60);

Hi giorgio gristina

Your code is all correct except for one thing. You seem to have a set of single quotation marks before the variable name major. This is the third line inside your setter block. this.major = ''major. Once you delete those errant quote marks, the code will pass.

Nice work! :) :dizzy:
