1,216 Pointsjava objects: counting scrabble tiles part 2
What am I doing wrong?
public class ScrabblePlayer {
// A String representing all of the tiles that this player has
private String tiles;
private char letter;
private int count;
private int display;
public ScrabblePlayer() {
tiles = "";
}
public String getTiles() {
return tiles;
}
public void addTile(char tile) {
tiles += tile;
}
public boolean hasTile(char tile) {
return tiles.indexOf(tile) != -1;
}
public int getCountOfLetter() {
int count = 0;
for (char letter : tiles.toCharArray()); {
int display = 0;
if (tile.indexOf(letter) != -1); {
count += display;
}
}
return count;
}
}
// This code is here for example purposes only
public class Example {
public static void main(String[] args) {
ScrabblePlayer player1 = new ScrabblePlayer();
player1.addTile('d');
player1.addTile('d');
player1.addTile('p');
player1.addTile('e');
player1.addTile('l');
player1.addTile('u');
ScrabblePlayer player2 = new ScrabblePlayer();
player2.addTile('z');
player2.addTile('z');
player2.addTile('y');
player2.addTile('f');
player2.addTile('u');
player2.addTile('z');
int count = 0;
// This would set count to 1 because player1 has 1 'p' tile in her collection of tiles
count = player1.getCountOfLetter('p');
// This would set count to 2 because player1 has 2 'd'' tiles in her collection of tiles
count = player1.getCountOfLetter('d');
// This would set 0, because there isn't an 'a' tile in player1's tiles
count = player1.getCountOfLetter('a');
// This will return 3 because player2 has 3 'z' tiles in his collection of tiles
count = player2.getCountOfLetter('z');
// This will return 1 because player2 has 1 'f' tiles in his collection of tiles
count = player2.getCountOfLetter('f');
}
}

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 32,210 Points- you do not need the extra int display
- there is a typo in your code, I think you mean tiles instead of tile
if (tile.indexOf(letter) != -1); {
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) {
tiles += tile;
}
public boolean hasTile(char tile) {
return tiles.indexOf(tile) != -1;
}
public int getCountOfLetter(char letter) {
int count = 0;
for (char tile: this.tiles.toCharArray()){
if (letter == tile){
count++;
}
}
return count;
}
}
