COnfused

I did this and it still says it's wrong! I went through multiple different scenarios but ran it in the Playground and it worked but will not on your editor. I found this to be true in the last module as well. What do I do now?

I thought I'd already replied to this, but clearly not!

Running stuff in a Playground isn't a way to test if your code will pass the challenge. The playground has no idea what you're trying to do so it only serves as a test to check your code is syntactically correct - it has no idea what question you're answering.

So, "What do I do now?" - post your code and the question you're trying to answer and also the error that the online compiler gives you. With all that we should be able to figure out the problem.

I do not understand what you mean about the Playground. If I am writing what the Editor has then isn't that the same thing. The Editor only knows what you tell it as well. Isn't that what the Playground is essentially an Editor just like on Treehouse? If not, what good would it be then?

Hi John,

The Treehouse web app 'knows' what output it is expecting from the code - it runs tests against your code and ensures that your code behaves as expected. The Xcode playground does not - it is just a code editor that knows what Swift expects, and applies those rules to your input. So, the PLayground makes sure what you type is correct from a Swift perspetive, the Treehouse app does that too, but also applies its knowledge of the desired outcome to test your code that stage further.

So, the payground will say that this code is fine:

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

That's because it is fine. But it won't pass the challenge you're struggling with.

If you can paste your code in, we can see what's up with it and figure out a fix.

I did end up passing the challenge but that is the key point I was getting confused with. The Editor has the answer it wants from you and will not accept code that may work but wouldn't be the best way it should be done pertaining to said situation. I was running the code in Playground first and then when I thought it was right I was entering it in the Editor. I now realize there are multiple ways to get to a certain outcome but the Editor knows the situation and what it wants. I appreciate your explanation. Thank you for explaining it in depth to this newb!
