Treehouse Guest TeacherI am totally stuck here. This makes no sense. I did what the video showed, but it doesn't work. HELP!
var numWidth = parseInt("640", 10);
What is wrong with this answer. I don't get it.

var numWidth = parseInt(boxWidth, 10);

Courses Plus Student 53,747 PointsHello, Robert Manolis:
You didn't actually pass in the variable holding the value of "640px", you passed an unscoped primary value of 640
Passing in 640 is entirely different than passing in the variable described in the challenge to the first parameter of parseInt.

Treehouse Guest TeacherThank you so much, Miss Kitty. I almost had that, but I put the boxWidth in quotes. This Java Script might just drive me bananas.
