Courses Plus Student 809 PointsGetting a weird error "java.lang.reflect.invation.target.exception error
this is all the code i added to the challenge code and i keep getting this error , the workspace shows nothing when i go search for the error , no line number or anything... so i am at a loss. i have reviewed the code and it all seems like it should work..so maybe a second set of eyes would help here
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(char tile)
{
int counter = 0;
for(char tileCount : mHand.toCharArray())
{
if(mHand.charAt(tileCount) == tile)
counter++;
}
return counter;
}
}

if(tileCount == tile)
counter++;
Since you're checking against the type of tile, not it's position. You may want to change the variable name to reflect that as well.
