1,005 PointsError Parsing my Integer
So I declared the variable ageAsInt, like in the video, and when I type Integer.parseInt(ageAsInt); and compile it it says it can't recognize the variable I declared.
I have checked for typos and messed around, and it doesn't want to work. Please note that I am a beginner in Java.

From what you've written in your question, it looks like you're trying to parse your integer ageAsInt into the parseInt method, when you need to parse in a string.
Your code should look something like this:
String ageAsString = "some number input as String"; int ageAsInt = Integer.parseInt(ageAsString);
