Android Build a Simple Android App (2014) Basic Android Programming Using the Random Class

int randomNumber = randomGenerator.IntAsString + ""; Is this conversion of a random number integer to a String value?

Generating Random Numbers. The first three are correct, the last one is posing a challenge.

Random randomGenerator = new Random(); int randomNumber = randomGenerator.nextInt (); int RandomNumber = randomGenerato.nextInt (10); int randomNumber = randomGeneratot.IntAsString + '';

RandomTest.java
Random randomGenerator = new Random();
int randomNumber = randomGenerator.nextInt ();
int RandomNumber = randomGenerator.nextInt (10);
int randomNumber = randomGenerator.intAsString + "";

Hi there,

Your last line isn't quite right. It asks you to:

Declare a String variable named intAsString. Convert the randomNumber integer to a String value and store it in the intAsString variable.

So, you need to start with:

String intAsString = 

That creates the variable called intAsString which is a String. You've tried to use it as a method of the Random class which it isn't.

What to assign to the String? It asks for the randomNumber to be "mooshed" so it converts to a String. The final code looks like:

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

Hope that helps.

Steve.
