Why am I getting the error message asking me whether I used the static method Int parse ?

My actual line of code reads

int age = Integer.parseInt(answerToLife);

Thanks

In the task you are asked to create a variable named "answer". And yours is named "age". Try and see if it works.

Girri;

The task is asking you to store the value in an integer called answer, not age. Change that and you should be golden for this challenge.

Happy coding,

Ken
