I Can't Seem To Get This!

I'm In The Android Development Track And I'm Having Trouble With This Question. "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."

My Code So Far Looks Like This But It's Incorrect:

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

I Don't Know What I'm Doing Wrong...

Ok so youve declared your string variable. That looks good. However you still need to assign that string variable the value of your randomNumber variable (youll need to use the Integer.toString() method and pass in your randomNumber variable as an argument to convert it to a string)

For example, if I wanted to assign a string variable called someString the value of an integer variable called someInt I would use

int someInt = 1;
String someString = Integer.toString(someInt);
