iOS Swift 2.0 Functions Functions in Swift 2.0 Recap: Functions

Celcius == Celsius?

Challenge Task 2 of 3

Let's add some code to the body of the function. Get rid of the existing return statement that's in there and in this task we're going to write out code to take a Celcius temperature value passed in and convert it to Fahrenheit.

To convert from Celcius to Fahrenheit - multiply the value by 9, divide the resulting value by 5 and then add 32.


Possible spelling error: Should it be Celcius or Celsius?

I believe Wikipedia says it's named after the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius


I remember this misspelling came up in another iOS thread:

Hello sir, to complete this you do

var Fahrenheit = number * 9 / 5 + 32

return Fahrenheit
