Why is my answer not working?

Don't know what is wrong..tried so many different things but cant figure out what is the right way..

script.js 
const width = '190px';
const totalImages = 10;


parseInt(width);
totalWidth = parseInt(width) * totalImages;
console.log = totalWidth;

Bare with me here hannah Javascript isn't exactly my strong suit. but I BELIEVEEE your answer should look like this 

const width = '190px';
const totalImages = 10;
var totalWidth = parseInt(width) * totalImages ;

Hope this helps :P Hannah Sohn

I think you'll do just fine hannah. I do the same thing dw :P you'll learn its not as hard as it seems. remember you have anymore questions feel free to ping me :) Hannah Sohn (plus not to worry. Javascript tends to make you overthink with all the steps it gives you but im sure youll get the hang of it)
