Hello,

You're close, this task is asking you to declare a String named intAsString instead what you called fact.

I'm having the same problem. My answer was the following:

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

Hello,

You forgot to declare your intAsString variable and give it a type. You can either do that on the same line or on a seperate line. For example,

int someInt = 0;

has the type, variable name, and value all one one line. You could also just declare a variable then initialize it on another line by

int someInt;
someInt = 0;

The code goes like this...

Random randomGenerator = new Random(); int randomNumber = randomGenerator.nextInt(10);

(Till here you have done...the next step is to DECLARE the 'intAsString' as a String....it is to be done the following way)

String intAsString = "";

(And then 'Moosh' up the variables)

intAsString = randomNumber + "";
