6,551 PointsDid you forget to create the method getTileCount that accepts a char? What am I missing?
public int getTileCount(){
int counter = 0;
for(char tile: mHand.toCharArray()){
while(mHand.indexOf(tile) >= 0){
counter++;
}
return counter;
}
}
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
mHand += tile;
}
public boolean hasTile(char tile) {
return mHand.indexOf(tile) > -1;
}
public int getTileCount(){
int counter = 0;
for(char tile: mHand.toCharArray()){
counter++;
}
return counter;
}
}

28,694 Pointsok, took another look. You need to pass in the character to test for. And you don't want to use indexOf (a character in the string will always appear in the string). If you have two characters you can use ==. Characters are primitives. Again, if you want to see the complete code google treehouse gettile.
