Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 13,307 PointsWhy can't I access the level() getter methods' output?
Previously the level had been set already using the getter method and the property 'credits' from the constructor method.
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';
}
}
// why won't this work?
set major() {
if (this.level === 'Senior' || this.level === 'Junior' ) {
_major = major;
} else if (this.level === 'Sophomore' || this.level === 'Freshman' ) {
_major = 'None';
}
}
}
I can't invoke a getter method with this
?

Treehouse Project ReviewerHey Samuel Kleos ! I'm not 100% sure how to interpret your question, as this.level
definitely returns something. But I can share some things that are missing from your code.
The
get major()
setter method needs a "formal parameter", meaning you'll need to pass in amajor
parameter, like so:get major(major)
. Afterall, if we're setting something, we'll be passing in some data.The backing property
_major
needs to be accompanied by athis
, as it belongs to this instance, for example:this._major = major
I hope this helps!
