Hello

You made a small mistake

Try this:

 String answerToLife = "42";
        int answer2 = Integer.parseInt(answerToLife);

Note I removed the " here :   Integer.parseInt(answerToLife)

answerToLife is a variable, not a String literal

Hope this helps ... if this answers your question, please mark the question as answered.

Thank you
