RandomTest.java, I can't pass it but I am not able to see what is wrong here on my codes on task 3 of 4

Random randomGenerator = new Random(); int randomNumber = randomGenerator.nextInt(8);

I should specify the numbers between 0 and 9 right?

Hi Melquisedec,

The challenge says

Now limit the range of the randomNumber variable from 0 to 9

Just follow this convention nextInt starts numbering from 0 to get 9 we need to implement n+1, where n is the number in the range

So by rule it should be

int randomNumber = randomGenerator.nextInt(10);

Hope this helps
