int is a primitive type (unlike String which is a class) so the i is lower case. 

String answerToLife = "42";
// lowercase i on int, not Int
int answer = Integer.parseInt(answerToLife);

conventionally, primitive types start with lower case letters while classes start with uppercase letters

see the docs on primitive types for more information on the various primitives in Java
