ES6 - Use getters and setters to Control Access to an Object

JavaScript
1

Hi all,

I think I understand everything that is going on here, yet the code isn’t working.
I peeked at the solutions and edited some algebra which was spelled incorrectly in instructions - still not working.
I don’t think there are any typos left and I checked it in different browsers.

The mistakes are:

When instantiated with a Fahrenheit value,
Thermostat
should set the correct temperature

getter should be defined

setter should be defined.

Thanks.

Your code so far

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

  get convert() {
    // this._temperature = (5 / 9) * (this._temperature - 32);
    // return this._temperature;

    return (5 / 9) * (this._temperature - 32);

  }

  set convert(tempC) {
    this._temperature = (tempC * 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 a getter for convert, not for temperature

I’m not sure what you mean by “some algebra which was spelled incorrectly”?
