1,133 PointsTrying to limit the range of the randomNumber variable.
I'm not sure what I am doing wrong here. I added an integer "(1)" to limit the range, yet when submitting the code, it gives me a "Bummer!" and tells me I need to put in an integer between 0-9.
Random randomGenerator = new Random();
int randomNumber = randomGenerator.nextInt(1);

Treehouse TeacherIt wants you to generate a random number between 0-9. Not pick a an integer 0-9.

Do you have the full question? I'm wondering if it's asking to output an integer between 0-9. If that's the case, your code should be something like this:
Random randomGenerator = new Random();
int randomNumber = randomGenerator.nextInt(10);
This'll output the next int value between 0 and 9, since the specified value (10) will be excluded from the range.
Hope that helps!

6,650 PointsIt really isn't worded well, but what its asking for is not an input between 0 and 9, its asking you to limit the random numbers returned from the method between those numbers, so you need to have .nextInt(10). This allows for random numbers between 0 and 9 to be returned.
