Temperature.swift
class Temperature {
    var celsius: Float = 0.0
    var fahrenheit: Float {
      get{
        return (celsius * 1.8) + 32.0
    }
      set{
        fahrenheit = newValue
        celsius = (fahrenheit - 32)/1.8

}

You almost had it, but you just don't need to assign the value of fahrenheit...

Temperature.swift
class Temperature {
    var celsius: Float = 0.0
    var fahrenheit: Float {
        get {
            return (celsius * 1.8) + 32.0
        }
        set {
            celsius = (newValue - 32) / 1.8
        }
    }    
}

Thank you!
