611 PointsI don't understand the question what are we comparing the char of letters to in the for loop?
The question is not clear enough...
public class ScrabblePlayer {
private String mHand;
private int count;
public ScrabblePlayer() {
mHand = "";
}
public int getTileCount(){
for (char letter: mHand.toCharArray()){
if ( letter ...... ){
count++;
}
} return count;
}
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;
}
}

7,120 PointsYou're supposed to be comparing it to a char that you accept as a parameter in the getTileCount method.
public int getTileCount(char match){
// for each char
// if char == match
// count++
}
