Android Development;Stage 2 Learning the Language challenge task

I feel like I am doing this right but I am getting an error. Can anyone verify this please? The answer is line 2. Thank you in advance.

Now limit the range of the randomNumber variable from 0 to 9. Use the version of 'nextInt()' that has a parameter that specifies how many numbers to choose from.

Bummer! Check the parameter you're using for 'nextInt()'. Hint: 0 through 9 is a total of 10 choices. Preview Recheck work

random.java

1Random randomGenerator = new Random();

2int randomNumber = randomGenerator.nextInt(3);

Hint: Check the argument you are providing to nextInt().

Sorry. Argument and parameter are somewhat interchangeable. What Ben calls the parameter in this example I called the argument. It's what you passed into the ( ) at the end. Try changing that number.

I will try changing the number. Thank you.
