Creating Setters

Question

I am still having trouble creating a setter properly in this exercise. Can someone explain this a little more clearly?

creating_setters.js

class Student {
    constructor(gpa, credits){
        this.gpa = gpa;
        this.credits = credits;
    }

    stringGPA() {
        return this.gpa.toString();
    }
  set major(student) {
    if(this.level === 'Senior' || this.level === 'Junior') {
      this._major = major;
      return this._major;
    } else {
      this._major = 'None'
      return this._major;
    }

  }

    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';
        }
    }
}

var student = new Student(3.9, 60);

You're really, really close Frank! The point of this setter is to check and display a student's major. If we look at the code you've written we can see that there's a specific parameter that's being used here, major. You're going to want to pass that parameter into this setter when you're setting it up. Which means adjusting your beginning line of code to:

set major(major) {
...
}

After that, remember to add the semicolon after 'none' and you're good to go!
