Lost here

I am completely lost on the exercise. I understand what I am supposed to do but I don't know what code to use.

ParsingInts.java 
int answer = answerToLife;
int answer = Integer.parseInt(answerToLife);

Thank you that worked for me. I thought it was glitch when it kept repopulating that on line of code at the top.

When you do 

int answer = answerToLife;

this will not work because answer is of type int and answerToLife is of type String. All you need is your second line

int answer = Integer.parseInt(answerToLife);
