I can't get past this challenge!

It is telling me to convert the random number into a string and store it under a variable named intAsString but I have no clue how to do this!!!

you need to create a new string variable. you can create a string like so:

String someString = "some string";

the challenge tells you it needs to be named intAsString and you need to use the toString method of the integer class to convert your random integer to a string. you can call that method like so:

Integer.toString(someInt)

where someInt is the integer variable you want to convert to a string. Putting that all together yields

String intAsString = Integer.toString(randomInt);

your random number variable may be named something different, in that above example I assumed it was named randomInt
