missing return statement

don't understand where my missing return statement is

ScrabblePlayer.java
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(char tile) {
    int count = 0;
    for(char tileInHand : mHand.toCharArray()) {
      if (mHand.indexOf(tile) == 1) {
        count++;
        return count;
      }else {
        return count;
      }
  }
  }}

Found it!

Have a look through this - I remember that challenge making me read it a few times to understand what it wanted.

Hope that helps!

Thank you! Very pleased to have helped. :-)

It is in your getTileCount - let me dig up another post about that which will help you.

Give me a minute!

There's other challenges with that loop too - I'll be right back!
