Converting GPA to a string

I'm having issues with this code challenge. I keep getting the same error message no mater what I try. It has to be a syntax issue. Can someone tell me where I'm going wrong? 

class Student {
    constructor(gpa){
        this.gpa = gpa;
    }
  stringGPA() {
    let GPA = this.gpa;
    let gpaToString = GPA.toString();
    console.log(gpaToString);
  }

}

const student = new student("3.9");

student.stringGPA();
adding_methods.js 
class Student {
    constructor(gpa){
        this.gpa = gpa;
    }
  stringGPA() {
    let GPA = this.gpa;
    let gpaToString = GPA.toString();
    console.log(gpaToString);
  }

}

const student = new student("3.9");

student.stringGPA();

Your code looks fine, but the challenge wants you to return the string, not log it to the console.

Ahh now is see it. For some reason in my brain logging to the console is synonymous with returning. Thank you for your help!
