it won't work inside or outside
class User {
constructor(email, username, birthday) {
this.email = email;
this.username = username;
this.birthday = birthday;
}
changeUsername(username) {
this.username = username;
}
}
const user1 = new User("JavaScriptStudent@teamtreehouse.com", "JSUser1", "1/08/1991");
user1['changeUsername'](“TreehouseStudent2”);

29,789 Pointsit seems you just copied and paste the (“TreehouseStudent2”) so i guess there is some problem with the quotation marks

It should also be noted, for future reference, that it's best to call class functions with dot notation like this:
user1.changeUsername("TreehouseStudent2");
The way here works, too, but brackets are usually reserved to call properties of the class like
username
etc. for readability purposes.Kim Dallas

11,461 Pointsyes I finally did that because that's what it said is the correct response. it still won't accept it. it makes no sense
