Well, from what i remember, and what the error message is prompting you, you did not define the range for your random numbers.

If its asking you to generate random numbers, you will as indicated need to put in 10 : int randomNumber =randomGenerator(10); A good rule of thumb, is since the random number generator starts with / includes 0, just add 1 to whatever your literal limit is. IE random numbers stopping at '25' would be 26, and so on.

Your code is somewhat incomplete there. What's the code you used to pass task 2?
