I never understand this crazy test that you have to figure out from multiple sources. Why can't the best answer be shown so we can use it and move on??? I still have an error!!!
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) {
// TODO: Add the tile to tiles
tiles += tile;
}
public boolean hasTile(char tile) {
boolean result = tiles.indexOf(tile) !=-1;
if(result) {return true;} else {return false;}
}
}
