Challenge Task 3 of 3
Sweet, we have a function! In this task, all you have to do is call the function and pass in a value of 24.0 degrees. Assign the result of the function to a constant named fahrenheitTemp.
Important: In each task of this code challenge, the code you write should be added to the code from the previous task.
functions.swift
func temperatureInFahrenheit ( temperature: Double) -> Double{
let fahrenheitTemp = (temperature * 9)/ 5 + 32
return fahrenheitTemp) }
let fahrenheitTemp = temperatureInFahrenheit(temperature: 24.0) im lost please help
func temperatureInFahrenheit ( temperature: Double) -> Double{
let fahrenheitTemp = (temperature * 9)/ 5 + 32
return fahrenheitTemp) }
let fahrenheitTemp = temperatureInFahrenheit(temperature: 24.0)

Courses Plus Student 11,316 PointsIt doesn't seem to like the spacing you have in the function:
let fahrenheitTemp = (temperature * 9)/ 5 + 32
should be
let fahrenheitTemp = (temperature * 9) / 5 + 32
althought
let fahrenheitTemp = (temperature * 9)/5 + 32
will pass (taking the space out between the / and the 5.
The other issue is an extraneous ) in the return statement, should just be:
return fahrenheitTemp }
I think properly spaced and lined, it should look like this:
func temperatureInFahrenheit(temperature: Double) -> Double {
let fahrenheitTemp = (temperature * 9) / 5 + 32
return fahrenheitTemp
}
let fahrenheitTemp = temperatureInFahrenheit(temperature: 24.0)
