Just add an empty string, "", onto randomNumber and assign that into intAsString. So, start by declaring String intAsString as you have done, then to the right of the equals, perform the addition.

57,712 PointsI've just seen your other post. You are on a completely different course to the one this thread refers to! You're doing the Kotlin course. That'll be why this thread isn't helping you.

57,712 PointsI have answered your question in the correct thread with a solution to the code challenge.

import java.util.Random
Random randomGenerator = new Random();
int randomNumber = randomGenerator.nextInt(10);
String intAsString = randomNumber + ""
Steve Hunter
57,712 PointsYou need a semi-colon at the end of the last line. And remove the import line - you don't need that as the challenge provides the necessary libraries.

57,712 PointsCan you post your code again - I'll see what the issue is.

57,712 PointsSure! First, declare your String as you have done. Then after the equals sign put
randomNumber + "";.Steve.
