This is the question I had: "A variable named "boxWidth" already exists with a value of "640px". Create a new variable named "numWidth" and use the "parseInt" method to extract the numeric value from boxWidth's string value.", and my answer was,
var numWidth = parseInt("640px", 10);
Can you tell me what I did wrong?

So, you should be parsing the value stored in the variable (by passing the variable as the first argument), not a string literal.
