Confused with adding string variable.

I'm confused with the challenge task asking me to create a string called intAsString. Any help would be great thanks.

RandomTest.java
Random randomGenerator = new Random();
int randomNumber = randomGenerator.nextInt(10);

Hi Kyler - The only thing left to do is to create the String variable intAsString and assign the value of randomNumber to it as a String. To convert randomNumber to a String you can concatenate an empty literal string to it or use String.valueOf(int).

Sorry, but I am still confused on what to add to create a string named intAsString, and also what I need to do to convert the randomNumber integer to a String value.
