I am working on this problem: https://teamtreehouse.com/library/java-objects-2/creating-the-mvp/scrabble-tiles and I am getting the following error. Please help!
./ScrabblePlayer.java:21: error: incompatible types: String cannot be converted to char
tile += tiles;
Here is my code.
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
}
public boolean hasTile(char tile) {
// TODO: Determine if user has the tile passed in
boolean giveTile = tiles.indexOf(tile) != -1;
if (giveTile) {
tile += tiles;
}
return false;
}
}
Where is my mistake?

10,599 PointsYou would have to add code to the addTile method which uses += like this:
example += 5
If you're still stuck, please provide the code you're trying so that we can see where you're running into an issue.
