Hi Sougata,

The instructions could be clearer on what you need to do here. What this challenge actually wants is for the stringGPA method to take no arguments and return a conversion of the class property gpa that was set during instantiation.

A note on class methods though, they don't end with a semicolon, just the curly brace.

Seperately to that, there's no independant toString() function in JavaScript, you need to use the method of the object type that you want to convert to a string. In this case, as GPA is a number, you need to use the toString() method on the number. It's always a good idea to check the MDN reference when you're working with functions you don't use everyday. I use the MDN reference regularly when working with JavaScript.

Okay, so, with those new bits of information, we can rewrite your stringGPA method as:

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

Cheers,

Eric
