in this exercise im being asked to convert the value of the gpa property to a string inside of the stringGPA method
but i cant seem to understand what that means
class Student {
constructor(gpa, stringGPA){
this.gpa = gpa;
this.stringGPA = stringGPA;
}
stringGPA() {
console.log(this.gpa);
}
}
const student = new Student(3.9);

return this.gpa.toString();
You should also not modify the provided constructor code. Just add the new method.

return this.gpa = this.gpa.toString();
toString() method converts your data to a string that is all you need to do

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 5,459 Pointsim getting an error saying
Bummer: student.stringGPA is not a function
with this
class Student { constructor(gpa, stringGPA){ this.gpa = gpa; this.stringGPA = stringGPA; } stringGPA() { return this.gpa.toString(); } }
const student = new Student(3.9);

216,863 PointsFor this challenge, you are asked only to add a new method. The instructions don't say anything about modifying the constructor code that was provided.
