I don't know what i'm doing wrong and the only error is bummer try again

My code seems fine. Can someone help me figure this error out. It could be a bug.

Temperature.swift
class Temperature {
    var celsius: Float = 0.0
    var fahrenheit: Float {
    get {

        return (celsius * 1.8) + 32.0
    } set {
    fahrenheit = newValue
    celsius = fahrenheit-32/1.8

    }
    }
}

Hi Boris,

Your solution is very close, but the error that I believe your getting is related to assigning the newValue to fahrenheit itself.

class Temperature {
    var celsius: Float = 0.0
    var fahrenheit: Float {
        get {
            return (celsius * 1.8) + 32.0
        } set {
            celsius = (newValue-32)/1.8
        }
    }
}

I added self but it still doesn't work. Could this possibly be a bug, it runs fine in Xcode.

Hi Boris,

Sorry about that! I just took a look at my reply and I must of been up pretty late at night writing this. The reason why this is not passing is, technically we shouldn't be assigning fahrenheit anything

fahrenheit = newValue

fahrenheit is a computed property, therefore when setting fahrenheit it must set the dependent variable which is celsius. Take a look at my old response, I've fixed up the code snippet.
