Hi Thomas,

Here's what I meant - I'm now back at home with my laptop!

I missed that you'd not got as far as the last line; sorry.

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

I hope that helps!

Steve.

That last line is Create a String variable named intAsString. Convert the randomNumber integer to a String value and store it in the intAsString variable.

Hi there,

A "moosh" involves adding a blank string to something to convert it or cast it. Try adding:

+ "";

To the end of the relevant line of code.

Sorry, I'm not at my computer right now so can't help directly!

Steve.
