index0f problem

What's wrong with my code?

ScrabblePlayer.java 
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) {
    // TODO: Determine if user has the tile passed in
     boolean has =tiles.index0f(tile)!= -1;
    if(has)
    {
      return true;
    }
    return false;
  }

}

Hi Li,

You wrote indexOf with the number 0 not the letter 0.

Thank you, I've changed it but still didn't work...

Replace all your code with return tiles.indexOf(tile) != -1;
