Treehouse TeacherWell there's a couple of things. First and foremost, this function is supposed to accept a value sent by other code. In this case, it will be Treehouse that sends in the value and we have NO clue what it is. In fact, they can test different values to make sure your code works. Currently you return a double, but you accept nothing. Take a look at the function definition you need:
// Enter your code below
func temperatureInFahrenheit(temperature: Double) -> Double {
return temperature
}
Here I declared a function that takes a Double named temperature and returns a Double. When Treehouse sends their number (whatever it may be) it will always be referenced to as temperature inside the function. So there will be no need for your var temperature = 5 after that. Hope that helps!
