Hi Jason,

You've already declared a randomGenerator instance of type Random. That instance has a method it can call named nextInt() which chucks out another random number.

So, here, you need to create an integer variable called randomNumber first - that looks like:

int randomNumber;

You then need to assign a random number to it by using the above method of the Random class via the instance you have already created.

That looks like:

int randomNumber = randomGenerator.nextInt();

I hope that all makes sense!!

Steve.
