# --description--
|
|
|
|
The `parseInt()` function parses a string and returns an integer. Here's an example:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var a = parseInt("007");
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The above function converts the string `007` to the integer `7`. If the first character in the string can't be converted into a number, then it returns `NaN`.
|
|
|
|
# --instructions--
|
|
|
|
Use `parseInt()` in the `convertToInteger` function so it converts the input string `str` into an integer, and returns it.
|
|
|
|
# --hints--
|
|
|
|
`convertToInteger` should use the `parseInt()` function
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(/parseInt/g.test(code));
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`convertToInteger("56")` should return a number
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(typeof convertToInteger('56') === 'number');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`convertToInteger("56")` should return 56
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(convertToInteger('56') === 56);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`convertToInteger("77")` should return 77
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(convertToInteger('77') === 77);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`convertToInteger("JamesBond")` should return `NaN`
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert.isNaN(convertToInteger('JamesBond'));
|
|
```

function convertToInteger(str) {

convertToInteger("56");
|
|
```
|

# --solutions--

|
```js

function convertToInteger(str) {
|

return parseInt(str);

}
