| # --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'));
 | |
| ```
 | |

| ## --seed-contents--
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```js
 | |
| function convertToInteger(str) {
 | |
| 
 | |
| }
 | |
| 
 | |
| convertToInteger("56");
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| # --solutions--
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```js
 | |
| function convertToInteger(str) {
 | |
|   return parseInt(str);
 | |
| }
 | |
| ```
