Convert a variable from String type to integer type

Random randomGenerator; String intAsString; // in this part i create the variable a required randomGenerator = new Random(); int randomNumber = randomGenerator.nextInt(10); intAsString = (String) randomNumber; // here is where i think the randomNumber should be converted to String type but it doesn't happen.

RandomTest.java 
Random randomGenerator;
String intAsString;
randomGenerator = new Random();
int randomNumber = randomGenerator.nextInt(10);
intAsString = (String) randomNumber;

Nice job on getting three out of four correct so far! That's not shabby at all. It's only the last little bit that's the issue. If you remove the initial declaration of the intAsString and then use this line, it should pass! 

String intAsString = Integer.toString(randomNumber);
