2,226 PointsCan you explain why my code isnt working? Im having trouble understanding exactly how to approach the question
let height = 120.0 // in inches let width = 144.0 // in inches
let widthInFeet = width / 12 let heightInFeet = height / 12
let areaInFeet = heightInFeet * widthInFeet
// the height and width of a wall
let height = 120.0 // in inches
let width = 144.0 // in inches
let widthInFeet = width / 12
let heightInFeet = height / 12
let areaInFeet = heightInFeet * widthInFeet

I'm not sure why your code is not working... it is correct.
I copied and pasted your code into a fresh challenge and it did pass. There may have just been a glitch at that moment. Try to copy the code above that you provided... restart the challenge... and paste in the complete code overtop any of the preloaded code.
But you are right! Keep Coding! :)
