Hi Guys, Someone can tell me what is wrong with the following, please ? var totalWidth = parsInt( width ) * numOfDivs;

It's about the total of div's calculation, thx. :-)

app.js 
var width = '190px';
var numOfDivs = 10;
var totalWidth = parsInt( width ) * numOfDivs;
index.html

var width = '190px';
var numOfDivs = 10;
var totalWidth = parsInt( width ) * numOfDivs; //parsInt or parseInt

//btw, do not keep any leading / prevailing spaces (width)
