two things ( maybe 1)

1) you don't show the declaration of answerToLife. If you just left that line off, then ignore this. otherwise add that back in.

2) in the second line you misspelled parseInt(parsInt) & you are redeclaring the variable with that second int declaration. see corrected code below: 

String answerToLife = "42";
int answer = 35; 
 answer = Integer.parseInt(answerToLife);
