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

Tell us what’s happening:
I am using repl.it to see what the functions return. When I run the code in Repl.it, it returns “26”, which is right. However when I run the code in the freeCodeCamp console I get the following errors. I do not understand what I have done wrong.

// running tests
Thermostat should be able to be instantiated.
A getter should be defined.
A setter should  be defined.
// tests completed

Your code so far


/* Alter code below this line */
class Thermostat {
constructor(temperature) {
    this._temperature = temperature;
}
// getter
get fahrenheit() {
    return this._temperature;
}
// setter
set fahrenheit(toCelsius) {
    this._temperature = (5/9 * (temperature - 32));
}
}
/* Alter code above this line */

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

Thank you @camperextraordinaire, I corrected my mistake and in addition I set the argument for the getter and setter to “temperature”. So the only remaining error message is "Thermostat should be able to be instantiated. I have tried googling, but I can’t seem to find a solution, thus I do not understand what I am doing wrong. Can you pinpoint me in the right direction?

My code is

class Thermostat {
    constructor(temperature) {
        this._temperature = temperature;
}
// getter
get temperature() {
    return this._temperature;
}
// setter
set temperature(newTemperature) {
    this._temperature = (5/9 * (newTemperature - 32));
}
}

Thank you for your help @camperextraordinaire. I see why I failed to pass the test. The content of the error message however is not clear. :slight_smile: But, onward I go! :slight_smile:
