I really don't know whats wrong...

Can someone explain to me exactly what is going on?

ParsingInts.java 
String answerToLife = console.readLine("");
int answer = Integer.parseInt(answerToLife);

Hi there, for this code challenge they are not looking for the variable "answerToLife" to be set by user input from the console (the console.readLine). They simply want the variable to remain at "42" as its preset.

String answerToLife = "42";
int answer = Integer.parseInt(answerToLife);

Take care!
