ES6: Getter and Setters issue with RunTest

Tell us what’s happening:
I was going crazy with this exercise, because nothing seemed to work. My code was quite similar to the soluntion in the Hints, but still turn out wrong. In disperation I copypasted the solution. Still console gave me a random error

  **Your code so far**

// Only change code below this line
class Thermostat {
constructor(fahrenheit) {
  this.fahrenheit = fahrenheit;
}

get temperature() {
  return (5 / 9) * (this.fahrenheit - 32);
}

set temperature(celsius) {
  this.fahrenheit = (celsius * 9.0) / 5 + 32;
}
// Only change code above this line

const thermos = new Thermostat(76); // Setting in Fahrenheit scale
let temp = thermos.temperature; // 24.44 in Celsius
thermos.temperature = 26;
temp = thermos.temperature; // 26 in Celsius

This is the error that appears

SyntaxError: unknown: Unexpected token (16:6)
14 | // Only change code above this line
15 |
16 | const thermos = new Thermostat(76); // Setting in Fahrenheit scale
| ^
17 | let temp = thermos.temperature; // 24.44 in Celsius
18 | thermos.temperature = 26;
19 | temp = thermos.temperature; // 26 in Celsius

Challenge: Use getters and setters to Control Access to an Object

Link to the challenge:

One more closing bracket is needed above the // Only change code above this line

If you show us your ‘quite similar to the solution’ code, we can help you debug it.

Okay I’m totally stupid. Can i delete this post and my whole persona on the internet?

When i meant quite literaly, i meant like exactly, like that. But maybe like this whole conundrum demonstrate, i still cannot proof read what i write, so there may be was some comma or Bracket that didn’t work.

It has been my experience that if the code isn’t working for me, it almost always means I didn’t write it literally, exactly like the correct code :slight_smile:
