You need to change the int in the beginning of

int AsString = randomNumber  "intAsString";

to 

String

resulting in

String AsString = randomNumber  "intAsString";

Also, I do not think you need 

"intAsString"

at the end.

I'm not a JAVA person...but your 3rd line looks a bit off to me. See if all the characters are good there. Just a thought.
