setter and getter method (properties) task 1 code not working and I don't know why

What I have is attached. Can someone tell me why I am getting an error saying that an incorrect celsius value is being assigned?

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

I haven't taken the Swift course, but I just passed the challenge after skimming this site I found:

http://ios-blog.co.uk/swift-tutorials/computed-properties-in-swift/

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