JavaScript Object-Oriented JavaScript Getters and Setters Creating Setter Methods

I couldn't find the error , pls help What is wrong here

Inside the major() setter method, set the student's major to a backing property "_major". If the student's level is Junior or Senior, the value of the backing property should be equal to the parameter passed to the setter method. If the student is only a Freshman or Sophomore, set the "_major" backing property equal to 'None'.

creating_setters.js
class Student {
    constructor(gpa, credits){
        this.gpa = gpa;
        this.credits = credits;
    }

    stringGPA() {
        return this.gpa.toString();
    }
     set major(major) {
       this._major = major;
      if(major === "Senior" || major === "Junior") 
      {
        this._major = major;
      }
      else if(major === "Sophomore" || major === "Freshman")
      {
        this._major = "None";
      }



     }
    get level() {
        if (this.credits > 90 ) {
            return 'Senior';
        } else if (this.credits > 60) {
            return 'Junior';
        } else if (this.credits > 30) {
            return 'Sophomore';
        } else {
            return 'Freshman';
        }
    }
}

var student = new Student(3.9, 60);

Hi,

I had some issues with this one as well. I posted my code below. You need to change "major" in the if-statement to this.level. I think you will also need the get major().

    get major() {
      this._major = major;
    }

    set major(major) {
    this._major = major;
      if (this.level === 'Junior' || this.level === 'Senior') {
            this._major = major;
          } else if (this.level === 'Freshman' || this.level === 'Sophomore') {
            this._major = 'None';
          }
    }

One of the things you can do is paste your code into a workspace to see if you get a better error message. Unexpected identifier without a line number can take some time. But in a workspace it shows you it is at line 23 just above get level(). There is an extra closing bracket at this location.

For task 2 you will want to check the level to set the major.

"Your setter method is returning the wrong value for the major property."

when I tried it says this
