Practicing Setters

Hello,

I am trying to get through this practice, but I can't seem to get it right. Could someone look at my code and let me know what I did wrong.

class Circle { set radius (_radius) { this.radius = _radius; this.area = 3.14*Math.pow(this.radius, 2); this.circumference = 2*this.radius*3.14; } }

const circ = new Circle();

Circle.js 
class Circle {
    set radius (_radius) {
      this.radius = _radius;
      this.area = 3.14*Math.pow(this.radius, 2);
      this.circumference = 2*this.radius*3.14;
    }
}

const circ = new Circle();

The challenge asks that the backing property be named "_radius", but this code uses that name for the parameter instead and just "radius" (no underscore) for the backing property. Then, attempting to assign the setter inside itself causes a recursion loop.

Fix the names and you should pass.
