tutorial
Random randomGenerator = new Random();
int randomNumber = randomGenerator.nextInt(10) + 1;
String fact = randomNumber + "";
intAsString = Integer.toString(randomNumber + "");

57,684 PointsHi Jonathan,
The issue is with your last line. You have converted randomNumber
to a string by adding the ""
empty string to it. So, you can just assign that into intAsString
like:
String intAsString = randomNumber + "";
That passes the challenge. Note, that I declared the String
data type prior to the variable name. To use the class method that you have tried to, you need to pass it an int
. As above, you've converted your int
to a String
already. So, omit the + ""
and just pass in the variable:
String intAsString = Integer.toString(randomNumber);
Again, the data type is required to define the variable correctly.
I hope that makes sense,
Steve.
