387 PointsCreate a public facing SETTER named "setSkills" that will accept an array and set the $skill property to that arrayvalue
class Developer extends User{ protected $skills=array();
public function getSkills() { return $this->skills; }
public function setSkills($array) { $this->skills = $array; } }
<?php
//do not modify this file
class User {
protected $name;
protected $title;
public function __construct($name = null, $title = null) {
$this->name = $name;
$this->title = $title;
}
public function __toString() {
return $this->getSalutation();
}
public function getSalutation() {
return $this->title . " " . $this->name;
}
public function getName() {
return $this->name;
}
public function setName($name) {
$this->name = $name;
}
public function getTitle() {
return $this->title;
}
public function setTitle($title) {
$this->title = $title;
}
}
?>
<?php
//add new child class here
class Developer extends User{
$protected $skills=array();
public function getSkills(){
return $this->skills;
}
public function setSkills($array)
{
$this->skills = $array;
}
}

<?php
//add new child class here
class Developer extends User{
protected $skills = array();
public function getSkills(){
return $this->skills;
}
public function setSkills($skills){
$this->skills = $skills;
}
}

4,205 PointsYour code is almost identical to mine, which was accepted as Task 2. (I'm looking only at the child class). I used the name $newSkills rather than $array as the input parameter. Might there be a problem with that name? What is the error message?
Btw, I came to this post looking to see if anyone was thrown off by the instruction to "set the $skill property", should be $skills.
