Using the math operators taught in this stage create a formula to change any given temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius.

1,365 PointsI imagine it would be something like this:
let celsius = (fahrenheit * 1.8) + 32

1,153 Pointsi was having some trouble with this extra credit also so went with the following :
var tempInFahrenheit = 0
let celsius = ( tempInFahrenheit -32) * 5/9
hope this is of help to you.

var fahr = 0.0
let celc = (fahr - 32.0) / 1.8
println(celc)
Then substitute in fahr the temperature you want to have converted into Celcius. Don't forget to write it like a double (using at least once decimal, ie: 1.0) for it to work :)

import UIKit
var temperatureInFarenheit = 167
let temperatureInCelcius = (Double(temperatureInFarenheit) - 32) * (5/9)
println(temperatureInCelcius)
