can't pass this challenge

I created a set method to the fahrenheit var and used the fahrenheit to celsius calculation ( which looks rite to me ), but it's still complaining that the celsius value is incorrect when I check my work

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

Hi, Cameron Gobber remember from the previous video to this example the use of newValue, which take the value set to Fahrenheit and then allows you to play with that value. Well here is the answer, your layout was right you just need to set Fahrenheit to newValue and it can all be done on one line.

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

Hope this helps Thanks Dom
