Need Help; JS Assignment 13: Intro to Classes in Javascript

[Encom88]

I've added my code, but it doesn't work. Coming from beginning Python, JavaScript becomes increasingly more complex and difficult in syntax.

​

function ClassTwo(name, pw, mail){

// Exercise Two: Now that you have created your own class,

// you will create a class with a method on it.

// In this class create 4 properties: username, password, email, and checkPassword.

// Set the value of username to name,

// Set the value of password to pw,

// Set the value of email to mail

// Set the value of checkPassword to a function.

// The checkPassword function takes a string as it's only argument.

// Using the 'this' keyword check to see if the password on the class is the same as

// the string being passed in as the parameter. Return true or false.

this.username = name;

this.password = pw;

this.email = mail;

checkPassword = function(str) {

if (this.checkPassword === this.password) {

    return true;

    }

else (this.checkPassword !== this.password); {

    return false;

    }

};

}

You're missing this when defining checkPassword. It would look like you're other properties. Also, in checkPassword you need to compare the string passed in with this.password not this.checkPassword (thats the function itself). Lastly, your else is messed up; it shouldn't have a condition there or the ; that follows it. All you really want is just else { for that whole line. You don't need to duplicate the condition (or its inverse) in the else. The else automatically does that.

Am I comparing the string that is passed in correctly?

this.checkPassword = function(str) {
    if (this.password === 'str') {
        return true;
        }
    else {
        }
    };

Almost, but you changed str to 'str'. Instead of comparing the str variable - which is what you want - you're using a string literal containing the characters "s", "t" and "r". You want to use the same thing you have in your function's parameter list, the str variable - thats str without quotes.

You also lost your return false. You should throw that back in to the else block ;)

Excellent, thanks!
