How to write getTileCount() function ?

My function goes like this :

public int getTileCount(char tile){ int count=0

   for (char letter : mHand.toCharArray()){

        if ( hasTile(letter)){

     count+=1;

    mHand+=letter;

}

else count=0; }

 return count;

}

Can Someone tell me how to figure out this, if this is not going to be the method then what has to be?

public int getTileCount(char specialTile) {
   int count = 0;
    for (char tile: mHand.toCharArray()) {
      if (tile == specialTile) {
        count++;
      }
    }
    return count;
  }

The hasTile method will return whether there is letter inside mHand. However we are trying to count the number of matching tiles. A great explanation is provided here Lucas Santos's explanation
