Use the parseInt Function in Basic Javascript

JavaScript

Not understanding what the problem is on here for this as I cannot get it to work: Seems close but no cigar. Anyone here want to explain this?

Your code so far


function convertToInteger(str) {
  parseInt(str)
}

convertToInteger("56");
convertToInteger("77");

You are correctly using parseInt, however you are not returning the value from the function. You need to use a return statement.
