Novice needs help with maths quiz program

[TwistedSpanner]

Hello all,
For the record I am a complete java novice.

I have to write a program to generate/output to screen 10 simple maths question and output a final score . The question is as follows

Random number, Random operator (+ or -) random number.

I have written the program but cannot make the random operator work. Can anyone help?

My code.

a = myRandom.nextIn t(8) +11;//generates random number
b = myRandom.nextIn t(8) +1;//generates 2nd random number

if(b<4)//this code sets random operator + or -
{
t='-'; // t is the random operator
}
else
{
t='+';
}
System.out.prin t("Question "+p+": "+((a+t+b)+ "= ? "));//prints question to screen

Thanks

Here is a tutorial on random numbers in Java, if you think you have everything right, please post your entire program, and any error messsages you are getting, or what the current output is.
