Create a new int variable that is named answer. Store the integer version of answerToLife in it.

The compiler keeps saying it cant find the symbol and it points to the a in (answerToLife)

ParsingInts.java 
int answer = Integer.parseInt(answerToLife);

Hey there Ethan,

Your code is fine, I copied and pasted your answer in after trying it myself just to make sure, and it passed. Can you copy your complete code to make sure that nothing is missing?
