You've got this!
You have correctly converted the tiles
to a char array. Try calling the loop variable something different to the value passed into the method - try tile
. Then, at each loop, compare, using ==
, whether tile
is equal to letter
, the char passed into the method. If they are equal, increment count
.
Make sense?
Steve.
