7,528 PointsWhy is my set name(input) returning `firstName lastName undefined`?
'use strict';
class Student {
get name(){
return `${this.firstName} ${this.lastName}`;
}
set name(input){
let name = input.split();
this.firstName = name[0];
this.lastName = name[1]
}
constructor({ firstName, lastName, age, interestLevel = 5 } = {}) {
this.firstName = firstName;
this.lastName = lastName;
this.age = age;
this.interestLevel = interestLevel;
}
}
let stevenJ = new Student({firstName: 'Steven', lastName: 'Jones', age: 22})
console.log(stevenJ.name);
stevenJ.name = "Steven Jennings"
console.log(stevenJ.name);

231,236 PointsAccording to the documentation for split(), if the argument is omitted "the array returned contains one element consisting of the entire string". So name[0]
(firstName) gets the whole name and name[1]
(lastName) is "undefined".
To fix it just supply an argument to split:
let name = input.split(' ');
