Mushing the randomNumber in the intAsString variable is not working.

I've followed what to do in the video exactly and applied that in the Challenge Task but I keep getting compiler errors From what I see it looks as though I've done things properly but am still not sure what is wrong.

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

You need to say that intAsString is a String:

String intAsString = randomNumber + "";
