# Task
Implement **`solution.py`** with `parse_int_list(text: str) -> list[int]`: parse a string
containing a JSON array of integers (e.g. `"[1, 2, 3]"`) into a Python list of ints.
Proposed solution
To solve this problem, we need to parse a string containing a JSON array of integers into a Python list of integers. The solution should handle valid JSON array strings and convert each element to an integer.
### Approach
1. **Parse the JSON String**: Use the `json` module in Python to parse the input string into a Python data structure. The `json.loads()` function is suitable for this task as it can convert a valid JSON string into the corresponding Python object, which in this case will be a list.
2. **Convert to Integers**: After parsing the JSON string into a list, convert each element of the list to an integer. This ensures that even if the JSON numbers are represented as floats (e.g., 3.0), they are converted to integers as required.
### Solution Code
```python
import json
def parse_int_list(text: str) -> list[int]:
data = json.loads(text)
return [int(x) for x in data]
```
### Explanation
- **Parsing the JSON String**: The `json.loads(text)` function converts the input string into a Python list. This function is robust and handles various valid JSON formats, including those with whitespace.
- **Converting to Integers**: The list comprehension `[int(x) for x in data]` iterates over each element in the parsed list and converts each element to an integer. This step ensures that the output is a list of integers, as required.
This approach efficiently handles the conversion and ensures that the output meets the specified requirements.
