this is really clever approach. It replaces all letters which are not lower case letters with empty string and returns the length.

Allright, thank you. I'm glad to read that. It's more fun to write an individual code and it's better practice, too. :)

This is the initial code for Java:

public class StringToNumber {
  public static int stringToNumber(String str) {
    //TODO: Convert str into a number
  }
}

Your code should be below or replacing that comment line.

I didn't copy and paste it. I adjusted it step by step, because I thought the code has to look very similar to the example. Thank you for the tip, I will delete my code and restart.

Your current code looks like you've copied/pasted the sample tests to Solution panel. Click reset and start over. Or post your code following these guidelines: https://docs.codewars.com/training/troubleshooting#post-discourse

I need help with Kata Convert a String to a Number. My code won't compile and I can't find the reason why. I compared my code to Instructio and Sample Test again and again, debugged it in IntellyJ, where it runs without problems. It's driving me crazy, not to find the problem. If anybody could help me,I'ld be very grateful.
The language is Java.
