Declare String Variable?

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.

Hello,

Instead of putting someInt in the brackets, put the integer you are trying to get. I think it would be randomNumber in this case, and you have to declare the variable name as intAsString. Try :

String intAsString = Integer.toString(randomNumber);

Hope this helps, Paul :)
