parsInt not compiling

Not sure why my script is wrong. Checked work and it is saying can not find variable parsInt.

var totalWidth = parsInt(width) * numOfDivs;

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

The correct method to use for this is parseInt() instead of parsInt(). That should allow your code to run.
