This looks like challenge number 4. First declare a string named intAsString. Next assign it the value of randomNumber but randomNumber is not a string so you have to moosh them together like Ben did in video (or at least that is what the challenge wants). Just concatenate an empty string to randomNumber and this will convert the expression to a string.

Random randomGenerator = new Random();
int randomNumber = randomGenerator.nextInt(10);
String intAsString = randomNumber + "";
