Try something like this.

string heightInput = "168";
int height = int.Parse(heightInput);

Note This is the answer but let me break it down

int.Prase() takes a string then converts it to an int type. So in this particular case the string is "168", but when we pass it to int.Parse() it gets converted to an integer.

If you need any further explanation, please feel free to ask or look here

thanks Jarred that helps appreciated
