Having trouble with the Android Track (Learning Java)?

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.

Random randomGenerator = new Random(); int randomNumber = randomGenerator.nextInt(10); (Not sure how they want me to display the string)

they dont want you to display it, only convert it from an integer and store it using the toString() method.

something like

String myIntegerAsAString = myIntVariable.toString();

would be what they are looking for. You would have to change the variable names to fit your context though.

Thanks, but honestly I completely stumped by this challenge. Could you explain in more detail how your example would apply to the context.

Wait, never mind dude I figured it out thanks. I just had trouble identifying the makeup (parts) of the string.
