Getter and setter method on computed property issues

Can't figure out what the problem here is.

Would appreciate the right answer and explanation.

Thanks in advance.

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

Within the setter method there, you need to assign a new value to celsius not fahrenheit

celsius = (newValue - 32) / 1.8
