I think the task named: Given the height and width of a wall ... have a bug in Recheck work, anyone get same problem?

let height = 120.0 // in inches let width = 144.0 // in inches let areaInFeet = height / 12.0 + width / 12.0

area.swift 
// the height and width of a wall
let height = 120.0 // in inches
let width = 144.0 // in inches
let areaInFeet = height / 12.0 + width / 12.0

Jiao,

You have the correct format. The only thing you need to do is multiply to find the area. 

let areaInFeet = height / 12 * width / 12
