The variable you are starting with is of type String and you can't set the value of the int to it as the types are different. In some cases you could use the .toString() to convert it but if I recall, in this case, it will give you a reference that the int cannot be derefferenced. So there is a way that we can automatically convert the int to a string by usign the ""+ in front of the int portion of your code.

"" + Int randomGenerator.nextInt(10);

I believe. I am still pretty new to this stuff.
