Use getters and setters to Control Access to an Object Correction

Tell us what’s happening: I was getting confused with this sentence in the challenge “In the class, create a getter to obtain the temperature in Celsius and a setter to set the temperature in Celsius”. I think it should be “… and a setter to set the temperature in Fahrenheit”

**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

The setter is in Celsius, which is to say that the argument is a temp in Celsius. Only the constructor is in Fahrenheit.

So, in thermos.temperature = 26; the value goes in Celsius to the setter and in the setter it transforms to Fahrenheit and it’s assigned to the constructor. Then when temp = thermos.temperature; you are calling the value in Fahrenheit in the constructor but the getter convert it in Celcius. (?)
