If and elsif error.

Can anyone help with this program? I haven't used Turing in a while, but i'm trying to create a randomized password maker. Here's the script, the problem is that the "word (i)= num/letter" isn't allowed.

code:
var word : string
var letter : string
var num, num2, choose, number : int

for i : 1 .. 10
    randint (num, 0, 9)

    randint (num2, 0, 26)
    letter := intstr (num2)

    randint (choose, 0, 1)
    if choose = 0 then
        word (i) := num
    elsif choose = 1 then
        word (i) := letter
    end if
end for

put "Your new randomized password is ", word

something like?
Turing:

var word : string := ""
var letter : char
var num, num2 : int
for i : 1 .. 10
    randint (num, 0, 9)
    randint (num2, 65, 90)
    if num > 4 then          %% instead of having choose, just use the previous num, 0 - 4 its the same chance of getting 5-9 so its 50 - 50
        letter := chr (num2)
    else
        letter := intstr (num)
    end if
    word := word + letter
end for
put word


could be a simpler way o_o but i cant think on top of my head right now Shocked

your problem was, trying to add an int to a string, which is not allowed, so "cast" the int to a char or a string then add on to itself

or just...

code:

...
word (i) := intstr (num) %or letter, whatever it is
...
