Adding getter and setter methods to a computed property

Hi,

I have added my getter and setter in this code challenge but am having difficulty assigning the right property value for my setter. I believe I'm typing it out right but don't know what I'm missing..

Any help is appreciated..thanks!

Temperature.swift 
class Temperature {
    var celsius: Float = 0.0
    var fahrenheit: Float {
    get {
        return (celsius * 1.8) + 32.0
    }
    set {
    celsius = (fahrenheit-32)/1.8
    }
    }    
}
