1,787 PointsStuck with conversion of String to Int
I think I know what the problem is, but not how to fix it, My result is a string and the object (?) is an int.
Heres the error;
JavaTester.java:42: error: cannot find symbol int numberOfSports = bestSport.nextInt(sports.length); ^ symbol: method nextInt(int) location: variable bestSport of type String 1 error
I tried a few things, but the challenges are quite finicky for exact syntax so googling and using parseInt etc obviously doesnt work :)
Thanks team appreciate the help
String[] sports = {
"Basketball",
"Baseball",
"Tennis"};
String bestSport = sports[0];
int numberOfSports = bestSport.nextInt(sports.length);

// to the number of sports in your sports array, in this case you would
// not need to have bestSport.nextInt(Sports.length)
String[] sports = {
"Basketball",
"Baseball",
"Tennis"};
String bestSport = sports[0];
int numberOfSports = sports.length;
Hope this helps :)
