Courses Plus Student 18,373 PointsYou already named the method parameter "letter". So you can't name the for iterator variable "letter". You need to find another name.
public int getCountOfLetter(char letter)
{
int count = 0;
for (char tilesLetter : tiles.toCharArray()) // "tilesLetter" equals the value of the current letter in "tiles"
{
if (tilesLetter == letter) // If the current letter is equal to the letter passed in argument, then increment the count
{
count++;
}
}
return count;
}
