2,165 PointsGetter and Setter task problem : /. I seem to have the wrong calculation in the following code:
class Temperature { var celsius: Float = 0.0 var fahrenheit: Float { get { return (celsius * 1.8) + 32.0 } set(newValue) { celsius = (fahrenheit - 32.0) / 1.8 } } }
the task is:
We need to add getter and setter methods to the fahrenheit property of the Temperature class. Add a getter method to the access the value of the fahrenheit property. Then add a setter method. When the user assigns a value to the fahrenheit property, the setter method will calculate and assign a value to the celsius property. (Note: Celsius = (Fahrenheit-32)/1.8))
Would really appreciate the help!
Thanks : )
class Temperature {
var celsius: Float = 0.0
var fahrenheit: Float {
get {
return (celsius * 1.8) + 32.0
}
set(newValue) {
celsius = (fahrenheit - 32.0) / 1.8
}
}
}

1,990 PointsTry this for the setter: set { celsius = (newValue-32)/1.8 }
