They want us to convert the randomNumber integer to a String value and store it in the intAsString. This can be done by:

String intAsString = randomNumber + "";

The answer Matin Shoghi was almost correct. The challenge does want you to change the randomNumber variable into a string however you must put the empty string first otherwise java will try to add a numeric value to your randomNumber which result in an error. Use the line

String intAsString = "" + randomNumber;
