## Description
|
|
<section id='description'>
|
|
The <code>parseInt()</code> function parses a string and returns an integer. Here's an example:
|
|
<code>var a = parseInt("007");</code>
|
|
The above function converts the string "007" to an integer 7. If the first character in the string can't be converted into a number, then it returns <code>NaN</code>.

|
|
## Instructions
|
|
<section id='instructions'>
|
|
Use <code>parseInt()</code> in the <code>convertToInteger</code> function so it converts the input string <code>str</code> into an integer, and returns it.

|
```yml
|
|
tests:
|
|
- text: <code>convertToInteger</code> should use the <code>parseInt()</code> function
|
|
testString: assert(/parseInt/g.test(code));
|
|
- text: <code>convertToInteger("56")</code> should return a number
|
|
testString: assert(typeof(convertToInteger("56")) === "number");
|
|
- text: <code>convertToInteger("56")</code> should return 56
|
|
testString: assert(convertToInteger("56") === 56);
|
|
- text: <code>convertToInteger("77")</code> should return 77
|
|
testString: assert(convertToInteger("77") === 77);
|
|
- text: <code>convertToInteger("JamesBond")</code> should return NaN
|
|
testString: assert.isNaN(convertToInteger("JamesBond"));
