2,880 Pointsstring heightInput = "168";
int height = int.Parse(heightInput); //This is all that you need to do to convert the string in heightInput to an integer using int.Parse, and store the result in height.
If you stopped right there you would have solved the challenge. But in the next line of code:
height =+168;
What you are doing is adding 168 to the value already stored in height, so height would become 168 + 168, hence the result would be incorrect.
