import java.util.ArrayList;
Hope this helps, iain

29,379 PointsArrays is another library you'll need to include. Here's a link to the official documentation.

3,129 PointsPeople I don't know where I am missing it.I need help on the for each loop. I am getting errors on my getTileCount method, it is saying I forgot to create the method.
~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(){ int counter = 0; for(char letter : mHand.toCharArray()){ counter++; } return counter;
} }
