for parceInt challenge, it is not reading my conversion!!! parceInt should not be a variable but a function... right?

mulitiply the width with the number of divs. but convert string width into integer.

My answer: var width = '190px'; var numOfDivs = 10; var totalWidth = parceInt(width) + numOfDivs;

they are saying "cannot find parceInt variable".... what am I missing?!?!

app.js 
var width = '190px';
var numOfDivs = 10;
var totalWidth = parceInt(width) * numOfDivs;

There's a typo in your line, it's parseInt() not parceInt().

Thanks William. I had to change the spelling and it worked. The question used the incorrect spelling as well. Best.

huh? I don't believe parseInt() function was mentioned anywhere in the code challenge description.
