3,919 PointsDoes someone understand where the parsInt should be put in relation to width?
I did not see this combination demonstrated.
var width = '190px';
var numOfDivs = 10;
var totalWidth = width * numOfDivs;

Treehouse TeacherRight now width is a string. But we want it to be an int so we can multiply it by the number of divs. We take the width and send it into a function/method called parseInt. Then we multiply. Take a look here:
var totalWidth = parseInt(width) * numOfDivs;
