Hi Steve,

We want to declare and initialize a string named intAsString, and we know that we want it to hold the value of randomNumber converted to String. The video shows a way in which you can convert that value to String: by concatenating an empty string to the value. Thus:

String intAsString = randomNumber + "";

Hope this helps!

Random randomGenerator = new Random();
int randomNumber = randomGenerator.nextInt(10);
String intAsString  = Integer.toString(randomNumber);
