Hi Jasper,

The int datatype should be in all lowercase.

Also, on the right side of the assignment you need to call the nextInt() method on randomGenerator variable. You have a capital 'R' but it should be a lowercase 'r'

you did it alright! just a simple mistake ... you need to use int as method so use lower case "i" instead of "i" in your int also need to use lower case "r" instead of "R" write it like : int randomNumber = randomGenerator.nextInt();

hope this helps :)
