My answer isn't being accepted?

The error message is telling me to assign correct background color depending on the temperature... which I think I'm doing it correctly

observer.swift 
class TemperatureController: UIViewController {
var temperature: Double = 0.0 {
didSet {
    if temperature > 80.0 {
        view.backgroundColor = UIColor.redColor()
    }
    if temperature < 40.0 {
        view.backgroundColor = UIColor.greenColor()
    }
}
}

    init(temperature: Double) {
        self.temperature = temperature
        super.init()
    }

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        view.backgroundColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
    }
}

Hey,

Check out the directions one more time. You should have 3 checks. To set the background color to red, blue, and green. You can use else if statement to solve this:

    var temperature: Double {
        didSet {
            if temperature > 80 {
                view.backgroundColor = UIColor.redColor() // red
            } else if temperature < 40 {
                view.backgroundColor = UIColor.blueColor() // blue
            } else {
                view.backgroundColor = UIColor.greenColor() // green
            }
        }
    }
