If I understood correctly it should be: String[] intAsString = intAsString[randomNumber]; Instead of: String intAsString = intAsString[randomNumber];

You can actually see it in the error message. is says "array required, but String found". that tells you the compiler is looking for an array type but is receiving (finding) a String type. this will generally happen when you define the variable the wrong way or if you pass the wrong variable as a parameter.
