Can i get help for this problem

For this first task, modify the addTile method so that it appends the tile that was passed in, to the player's tiles. Practice using the += shortcut method for string concatenation.

i am struggling for this exercise can anyone help me out here

ScrabblePlayer.java
public class ScrabblePlayer {
  // A String representing all of the tiles that this player has
  private String tiles;

  public ScrabblePlayer() {
    tiles = "";
  }

  public String getTiles() {
    return tiles;
  }

  public void addTile(char tile) {
    // TODO: Add the tile to tiles

  }

  public boolean hasTile(char tile) {
    // TODO: Determine if user has the tile passed in
    return false;
  }

}

Hey Pratham,

This challenge is specifically looking for you to take advantage of +=, which is a compound assignment expression. In our case, we want to use this expression to concatenate (add) whatever value is passed as an argument to the addTile method to the player's tiles.

You should have something like this:

public void addTile(char tile) {
  // TODO: Add the tile to tiles
  tiles += tile;
}

Didn't work for me.

Sorry worked I just switched tile and tiles in an expression.
