var totalWidth = parseInt(width) x numOfDivs;

8,686 Pointshello sperera your syntax is right but you are not using the multiply operator. it looks like you are using x instead of *
// you wrote
var totalWidth = parseInt(width) x numOfDivs;
but it should be
var totalWidth = parseInt(width) * numOfDivs;
i hope this solves you problem

Treehouse Project ReviewerRemove the parseInt method from the width variable.

4,017 PointsNo, that does not solve it. These are the variables used to calculate the totalWidth:
var width = '190px'; var numOfDivs = 10;
So parseInt is required to change the width from string to int.

Treehouse Project ReviewerI see, I presumed you already declared a width variable that held a integer from using the parseInt method. I didn't see the video.
