dont get this challenge

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.

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;
  }

}

You need to use tiles += tile; in your addTile method. It adds the tiles to your "hand" if you will.
