5,394 PointsConverting property value to string within class method is throwing an error.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. In order to convert the gpa
to a string and then return it, is there a different way? I keep getting an error, saying that gpa
isn't defined.
class Student {
constructor(gpa){
this.gpa = gpa;
}
stringGPA() {
return toString(this.gpa);
}
}
const student = new Student(3.9);

Your JS syntax is a bit off.
You should rework your return statement.
toString is a method for a number variable object (as well as several other types of objects).
So the proper syntax would be:
return this.gpa.toString(); // Since toString is a method, you need to call it with ().
// (This will return the number as a string)
(It passes with that line of code, by the way...)

I hope that helps.
Stay safe and happy coding!
