What should I do ?!!! Below is an object that I am using to represent a player in a Scrabble-like game I'm building. The mHand field is used to represent all the tiles the user currently has in their hand.

Can you please fill out the addTile method so that it takes the char that is passed and adds it to the mHand member field? Thanks!

ScrabblePlayer.java 
public class ScrabblePlayer {
    private String mHand;

    public ScrabblePlayer() {
        mHand = "";
    }

    public String getHand() {
       return mHand;
    }

    public void addTile(char tile) {
        // Adds the tile to the hand of the player
      boolean mHand = getHand;

    }

    public boolean hasTile(char tile) {
       return false;
    }
}

Hi ahmed

You need to add the tile to your mHand variable:

mHand += tile;

It looks like you're storing the tiles as a string. You can just use += to add the new charachter.

public void addTile(char tile) {
        // Adds the tile to the hand of the player
      mHand += tile;

    }
