5,373 PointsHow should we write the calculation that assigns the correct value to the celsius property?
I am trying to complete the code challenge but I get an error explaining that my setter method does not assign the correct value to the celsius property, but in my offline Xcode the code shows no errors and my calculation matches the requirements.
class Temperature {
var celsius: Float = 0.0
var fahrenheit: Float {
get {
return (celsius * 1.8) + 32.0;
}
set {
celsius = (fahrenheit - 32) / 1.8;
}
}
}

You might want to have a look at Computed Properties
class Temperature {
var celsius: Float = 0.0
var fahrenheit: Float {
get {
return (celsius * 1.8) + 32.0
}
set {
celsius = (newValue - 32) / 1.8
}
}
}
...also semicolons at the end of lines are optional
