Alright well seeing as you are at the last part of the code challenge I will assume your code looks like this:

Random randomGenerator = new Random();

int randomNumber = randomGenerator.nextInt(10);

Well next we need to convert the value of the randomNumber to a string. To do this we need to use the method toString. 

Random randomGenerator = new Random();

int randomNumber = randomGenerator.nextInt(10);

String intAsString = Integer.toString(randomNumber);

That should be all and that should work. Good Luck!
