574 PointsHow do I get the answer
Correct the existing hasTile method to return true if the tile is in the tiles field, and false if it isn't. You can solve this a few ways, however, I'd like you to practice returning the result of the expression that uses the index of a char in a String.
I am adding this to the method:
boolean isTile=tiles.indexOf(tile)!=-1; return true;
Can someone help me understand why it's not working?
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) {
tiles += tile;
}
public boolean hasTile(char tile) {
boolean isTile=tiles.indexOf(tile)!=-1;
return true;
}
}
