#How to make an alphanumeric variable

I'm trying to make a little program that allows you to put in what dice you want to roll (D4, D6, etc) and then the program would roll that dice, but I'm running into a roadblock because when using java.util.Random it apparently doesn't allow you to use a string, it has to be an integer. So how could I make it where I can use the random util (Or if there is a different import I don't know about) so I can make this work? Any help is appreciated and I am very new to programming, thank you!

what kind of random value do you want to pick

Random only does numbers because they're the most logical thing to randomize, you could randomize a string in a lot of different ways
