Hi michaelconnolly,

Try the challenge again as I just tried your code and it worked fine.

Hi Michael! Your code doesn't seem to have any errors. My guess is that you have deleted the line of code above the line of code you have posted above. Here are the two lines of code I used for this challenge. I have tested them and they work. Hope this helps :)

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