Compiles but incorrect, what am I not doing right? Thanks!
class Temperature {
var celsius: Float = 0.0
var fahrenheit: Float {
get {
return self.fahrenheit
}
set(newfahrenheit) {
self.fahrenheit = newfahrenheit
self.celsius = ((self.fahrenheit - 32.0)/1.8)
}
}
}

Courses Plus Student 26,868 PointsThere're some issues with this code.
In your getter method, return self.fahrenheit, you can not ask the getter method to return self.fahrenheit to you, as it has no idea what it is; the fahrenheit value is calculated using the conversion formula from Celsius.
Also, in your setter method, you only needs to set a new value for the Celsius, and fahrenheit will know how to calculate its own value using the getter method.
class Temperature {
var celsius: Float = 0.0
var fahrenheit: Float {
get {
return (celsius * 1.8) + 32.0
}
set (newfahrenheit){
celsius = (newfahrenheit - 32.0)/1.8
}
}
}

14,367 PointsAh I see, I guess I need to keep playing with the fahrenheit property assignment to really understand what's going on. Very helpful answer, thanks so much
