15,193 PointsThere are only 2 parts to the question. Let's break it down.
Create a new int variable that is named answer.
and
Store the integer version of answerToLife in it.
The first one tells us to create a new int named answer.
String answerToLife = "42"; //<---code that they gave us
int answer; //<---created a variable named answer that is an int
The second sentence tells us to store the integer version of answerToLife. Currently, it is saved as a String, so we just have to convert it to an int. You have done this, but you also added a console.readLine which is not needed since they gave us a specific String to use.
String answerToLife = "42"; //<---code that they gave us
int answer = Integer.parseInt(answerToLife); //<---asigned our answer variable the value of the String they gave us in int form
