title: Use the parseInt Function
---
## Use the parseInt Function
The ```parseInt()``` function will take any ```string``` parameter representing a number and return its integer value. 

## Hint 1 
```parseInt()``` should be used inside your function and return whatever ```str``` is, assuming that ```str``` is a string representing some number.

## Solution
```javascript
function convertToInteger(str) {
    return parseInt(str); 
}

convertToInteger("56");
```
