Hi Aditya,

For your future question I suggest you to explain what you want to do with the code you provide, it will be easier for the community to help you.

I look on the challenge and it seem you need to convert randomNumber as an int, in the variable intAsString as a String. You can do this in multiple ways.

1

int number = 10;
String intAsString = number + "";

2

int number = 10;
String intAsString = Integer.toString(number);

3

int number = 10;
String intAsString = String.valueOf(number);

I hope this can help you!

Hi,

This method should work fine, this is the one they teach in the tutorial.

int number = 10;
String intAsString = number + "";

Is it possible to ask tree house them self? Sorry but it still says " Bummer! There is a compiler error. Please click on preview to view your syntax errors!". I did that and it just made me confused.

I don't know if you can contact treehouse. Post the question and your code, it will be easier to me or the community to help you.
