I dont understand what its asking... I have taken it in every possibility I could think of and now i'm just extra confused. Hints? :3 lol

It's basically asking you to convert an int to a String. In the video at around 3:10, Ben shows one example of doing this, by "mooshing" an int variable and a blank String "" (using the + operator).

See below:

String intAsString = randomNumber + "";

Thank you so much! I was putting randomGenerator instead of randomNumber for some reason thinking it wanted me to replace randomNumber completely.

Ty again!
