custom setter method does not work (javascript)

Question

I'm trying to define a method inside the constructor to modify the 'name' attribute (but it doesn't seem to work).I can't figure out what's wrong with my code(I'm newbie). Thanks in advance.

function Animal(){
  this.name=""
  this.setName=function(name){
    this.name=name
  }
}
var myDog=new Animal()
myDog.setName="Max"
console.log(myDog.name)//" "
console.log(myDog.setName)//"Max"

Answer 1

setName is function so change your code to myDog.setName("Max")

 function Animal(){ this.name="" this.setName=function(name){ this.name=name } } var myDog=new Animal() myDog.setName("Max") console.log(myDog.name) //console.log(myDog.setName)//"Max"
