random.java code quiz

i have been doing the Android quiz and the last part just keep stumping me

Random randomGenerator = new Random();

int randomNumber = randomGenerator.nextInt(10);

answer = Integer.toString(randomNumber);

this is the code above i've gotten from the vid and the last part says its wrong. the part i'm on says to use the .toString(); method. I don't know if i'm doing it wrong or not?

It asks you to declare a String variable named intAsString. In your code, you forgot the data type String for your variable. Your variable must also be named intAsString for the code to validate. Everything else looks correct!

It should look like this:

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