Didn't get it right but I entered the next course regardless. Could I have the answer to learn from it?

I know 2.5 x 2.5 is 6.25. int doesn't work and 2.5 doesn't work and after that I'm not so sure

An int.Parse would return just the whole-number part (2). To get the actual value of 2.5, you'd do this:

:point_right: 6.25 / double.Parse("2.5")

Nice, thank you. I'll redo the test for practice
