Hi there! Remember, we're creating a new variable. And the name of our new variable goes on the left of the equals, and the value assigned to it goes on the right. Yours is backwards.

string heightInput = "168";
int height = int.Parse(heightInput);

Here we declare a new integer named height and then we take the height input and parse the integer from the string. When that's done it's assigned back into height. Hope this helps! :sparkles:
