3,419 PointsError says I forgot to add the method getTileCount that accepts chars:
I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I think I'm missing something. If someone could take a look at my code and give me some tips that would be great
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 String getTileCount()
{
String count = "";
for (char tile: mHand.toCharArray())
{
String displayCount = "";
if (mHand.indexOf(tile) >= 0)
{
displayCount += tile;
}
count += displayCount;
}
return count;
}
public boolean hasTile(char tile) {
return mHand.indexOf(tile) > -1;
}
}

Treehouse TeacherHere's a couple of hints. The function getTileCount should return an integer and accept a character. Right now yours returns a String and accepts nothing. The declaration of the function should look like this:
public int getTileCount(char tile)
