Declare a String variable named intAsString. Convert the randomNumber integer to a String value and store it in the intAsString variable. Hint: Use the toString() method of the Integer class.

I've been working at this for about an hour and still can't figure it out, the code that I've been trying is this

 Random randomGenerator = new Random();
 int randomNumber = randomGenerator.nextInt(10);
 intAsString = Integer.toString(randomNumber);

If somebody could help me then that would be great. Thanks

I'm not really sure because I'm a beginner too, but I think you didn't declare the intAsString variable as a String variable. Ex. String intAsString = Integer.toString(randomNumber);

That's all I see that might cause a mistake though.
