Use getters and setters to Control Access to an Object question

JavaScript

Tell us what’s happening:
I’m not sure why my code is failing…I did some investigating around but I couldn’t figure it out.

Also, is “thermos.temperature = 26;” passing “26” as the parameters for the set method? If so, would it go through the formula?

Your code so far


function makeClass() {
  "use strict";
  /* Alter code below this line */
class Thermostat {
    constructor(temperature) {
    this.temperature = temperature;
  }
    get temperature(){
    celcuisTemp = 5/9 * (this.temperature - 32)
    return this.celcuisTemp;
  }
    set temperature(celcuis){
    this.temperature = celcuis * 9.0 / 5 + 32 ;
  /* Alter code above this line */
    return Thermostat;
    }
  }
}
const Thermostat = makeClass();
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

I understand that, but I’m comparing my solution to the answer and I don’t see the discrepancies (besides variable names). The specific error i’m getting is “Thermostat is not a constructor”. Is there syntax/rules I’m not following?

I figured it out, the return Thermostat; can’t be apart of class Thermostat brackets, just apart of function makeClass. One last question, what’s the significance of “const Thermostat = makeClass();” I’m not even sure why we need to create the class Thermostat within the function makeClass.

Thanks for your time, really appreciate it.
