1,861 Pointshaving an issue with getters and setters
class Temperature {
var celsius: Float = 0.0
var fahrenheit: Float {
get{
return ((celsius * 1.8) + 32.0)
}
set{
celsius = ((fahrenheit - 32) / 1.8)
}
}
}
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))
Bummer! The setter method for fahrenheit did not assign the right value to the celsius property. (Note: Celsius = (Fahrenheit-32)/1.8)

The error is due to the fact that you need the newValue instead of fahrenheit, since the user can input a new value to the function. If that makes sense :)
class Temperature {
var celsius: Float = 0.0
var fahrenheit : Float {
get {
return (celsius * 1.8) + 32
}
set {
celsius = (newValue - 32) / 1.8
}
}
}
