}

8,306 Pointsin order to call the function you need to type out the name of the function and pass in the given number for the parameter.
let fahrenheitTemp = temperatureInFahrenheit(24.0)
the first half of this statement is setting a constant named "fahrenheitTemp". the second half is the calling of the function.
*also, you don't need to put any parentheses in your equation. Swift runs the operations in the correct order already. (division multiplication followed by addition subtraction) so you can just say "return temperature * 9 / 5 + 32"

let fahrenheitTemp = temperatureInFahrenheit(42.0)
print( fahrenheitTemp )
