JavaScript Object-Oriented JavaScript Getters and Setters Creating Getter Methods

Basic Getter method question

I need help with the code below - thanks!

creating_getters.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';}
  }  


const student = new Student(3.9);

The new method is OK, but the final ending brace to finish the class definition is missing.

TIP: Consistent use of indentation to indicate nesting level can make this kind of issue very easy to spot.

Thank you - I agree it needs to be cleaner I added the bracket - see below- and it is still giving me an error what am I missing?

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';} }

const student = new Student(3.9);

The brace needed would go at the class end, I don't see it there. And to make the code more readable (like the original sample above), use Markdown formatting.
