Looks like your biggest issue is your variable names are in quotes. You also miss-spelled randomNumber:

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

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