iOS Object-Oriented Swift Properties Getter and Setter Methods

What did I do wrong here with the get and set thing?

In this challenge, it wants me to make a getter and setter, but when I try to set the value of celsius it keeps coming up with a compiler error. What did I do wrong in this? I keep getting stuck.

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

Hello Ronald:

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