Hi Tremayne,

You're just missing the last line.

Add an empty string to randomNumber and assign that (with an equals sign) into intAsString. 

String intAsString = randomNumber + "";

This converts the int, called randomNumber into a string and stores it in intAsString.

Let me know how you get on.

Steve.
