Can someone check my Celcius to Fareinheit Extra Credit? Thanks!

//: Playground - noun: a place where people can play

import UIKit

//C x 9/5 + 32 = °F

var celcius = 1

var far = (celcius * (9/5)) + 32

var celsius = 10.0 

let fahrenheit = celsius * 1.8 + 32

Insert any celsius temp. Make it a decimal number to show that it is a Double. If Swift does not know that Celsius is a Double then it will not convert the temp properly. If you insert 10 instead of 10.0 you will get the wrong answer. Note: The formula for conversion is a constant.

ALTERNATE VERSION (erase any previous code before using the Alternate Version)

var celsius: Double

celsius = 10 

let fahrenheit = celsius * 1.8 + 32

Explicitly declaring celsius as a Double will allow you to insert Integers instead of decimals.

Hope this helps
