7,497 PointsHow do I return the right value for the major property?
I don't understand the question of this exercise and how to solve it. Can someone help me?
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';
}
}
get major() {
return this._major;
}
set major(major) {
if (major === "Senior" || major === "Junior") {
this._major = major;
}
else {
this._major = "None";
}
}
}
var student = new Student(3.9, 60);

In your "if" statement where you check whether they are a Senior or Junior. Senior or Junior is the "level" not the major, so instead of
if (major === "Senior" || major === "Junior") {
this._major = major;
}
try...
if (this.level === "Senior" || this.level === "Junior") {
this._major = major;
}
Here is another community answer that you might find helpful.: (https://teamtreehouse.com/community/inside-the-major-setter-method-set-the-students-major-to-a-backing-property-major-if-the-students-level-is-juni-2)
Hope this helps and happy coding!

7,497 PointsThank you! I tried level === "Senior" before but I forgot the this.level. 😅

7,497 PointsThe assignment is: Inside the major() setter method, set the student's major to a backing property "_major". If the student's level is Junior or Senior, the value of the backing property should be equal to the parameter passed to the setter method. If the student is only a Freshman or Sophomore, set the "_major" backing property equal to 'None'.
