23. Private Variables

[mou_me]

This is not working and i dont get why its not!!

```

function Person(first,last,age) {
this.firstname = first;
this.lastname = last;
this.age = age;
var bankBalance = 7500;
}

// create your Person
var john = new Person(‘Mou’, 12);
var bankBalance();
console.log(john.bankBalance);
// try to print his bankBalance

Hi just remove that line

var bankBalance();

[mou_me]

yes i tried removing it but its showing undefined then!! why so?! its not printing what it should print!

[codeninja84962]

Another thing to fix is the fact that your constructor has three arguments, but you only use two when creating the Person object. John need both a first and last name.

[wizmarco]

@mou_me yes, it’s the right result because you are trying to eccess to a private variable

[mou_me]

still its showing undefined

[mou_me]

ohh i see!!! thanks btw

you can’t access the private variable.
The result is correct.

check below code…

function Person(first,last,age) {
this.firstname = first;
this.lastname = last;
this.age = age;
var bankBalance = 7500;
}

// create your Person

var john = new Person(“Jogh”, “p”, 10);

// try to print his bankBalance

console.log(john.bankBalance);

write

console.log( Person(bankBalance) );
