Having trouble getting every other month not be vacation

Question

var month = parseInt(readLine(), 10)
//your code goes here
var august = "August"
if (month == august){
console.log("vacation")
}

Answer 1

var month = readLine()

Answer 2

parseInt converts your input to an integer.
It gives an error if input doesn't include integers.
That's why you need to use readLine() to take a string input.

Answer 3

Oh, that makes so much sense now. Thank you :)

Answer 4

So why do I need to remove the parseint?
