Declare a String variable named intAsString.

ANDROID DEVELOPMENT Basic Android Programming Challenge task 4 of 4

Declare a String variable named intAsString. Convert the randomNumber integer to a String value and store it in the intAsString variable. Hint: "Moosh" them together like in the video!

This is what I wrote: Random randomGenerator=new Random(); int randomNumber = randomGenerator.nextInt(10); String=intAsString. Random randomNumber= new String();

And this is what I got:

Bummer! There is a compiler error. Please click on preview to view your syntax errors! JavaTester.java:22: ';' expected Random randomNumber= new String(); ^ 1 error

Once again, any answer or suggestion please...

Your last part is the problem. The code should look like this:

        Random randomGenerator = new Random();
        int randomNumber = randomGenerator.nextInt(10);
        String intAsString = randomNumber + "";
