This does not produce any errors in Xcode, but I keep getting a bummer message
func temperatureInFahrenheit(temperature: Double)-> Double { var fahrenheit = ((temperature * 9)/5 + 32) return fahrenheit }
let fahrenheitTemp = temperatureInFahrenheit(24.0)
// Enter your code below
func temperatureInFahrenheit(temperature: Double)-> Double {
var fahrenheit = ((temperature * 9)/5 + 32)
return fahrenheit
}
let fahrenheitTemp = temperatureInFahrenheit(24.0)

8,227 PointsYou've got an extra space between let and fahrenheitTemp... I guess that little thing will prevent the task from completing.

I tried it your way in Xcode and it worked fine, as you said, but I declared fahrenheit as a constant (let) rather than a variable (var) and removed a set of parentheses from your equation. Like so:
func temperatureInFahrenheit(temperature: Double) -> Double {
let fahrenheit = (temperature * 9) / 5 + 32
return fahrenheit
}
let fahrenheitTemp = temperatureInFahrenheit(24.0)
This seemed to work for me in both Xcode and the Code Challenge. Xcode advised that because we don't really do anything else with the value assigned to the fahrenheit variable apart from manipulate our function argument, it can be safely declared as a constant, which is why I changed it. I also think that the order of operations in Swift allows you to dispense with one of the sets of parentheses you used.
Sometimes, I've noticed that the in-browser simulators can lag behind and will sometimes need a page refresh or even a browser restart, but this passed fine for me. Good luck!

8,227 PointsYou can even get rid of the constant completely and just
return (temperature * 9) / 5 + 32

8,227 PointsIt's weird... Something that small shouldn't matter, especially since it doesn't matter in Xcode...
