Setter Not setting the right value

Not getting the right value when this is setting it to the computed value. Any Ideas?

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

Answered the same question here.

Basically, you just need to change "fahrenheit" in your setter method to "newValue". Check the answer I provided in the link for more details as to why.
