626 PointsAdding 10 to height and store it into height?
I believe i 'm doing the right thing but it won't let me pass.

626 PointsHey Brendan, This's my code: string heightInput = "168"; int heightInput = int.Parse("168"); heightInput = heightInput + 168;

My response may not be reflective of what has been taught to you thus far, so if someone taking this course has a more appropriate answer, please post it.
My approach would be to use the "+=" operator to add 10 to the current value of the height variable.
height += 10;
or you could also do the following
height = height + 10;

626 PointsI believe both will work. Thank you.

4,407 PointsHi Borislav,
You cannot use "heightinput" to store the parsed value of "168". You will need to declare another variable to store the resulting parsed value. The reason for this is because your "heightinput" variable was already declared as a type "string" (you cannot have two variables with the same name).
For example, you could do the following:
string heightInput = "168";
int height = int.Parse(heightInput);
Assuming no exceptions are thrown during the parsing of "heightInput", the "height" integer variable should be set to 168. You can then use the height variable as you please.
Hope this helps.
