Hey there! In this java challenge I was supposed to add a method called getTileCount that uses the for each loop and increments a counter if it matches. then I should return the count. I have an idea of how it could work but i'm still getting compiler errors. Can someone help me please?
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 String getTileCount() {
for (char tile : mHand.toCharArray()) {
}
}
}
