Given the height and width of a wall in inches, calculate the area in feet and assign it to a constant named areaInFeet.
// the height and width of a wall let height = 120.0 // in inches let width = 144.0 // in inches
let areaInFeet = 22

let height = 120.0 / 12
let width = 144.0 / 12
also,
let areaInFeet = 22
Make sure you use a variable * a variable, not 22.
