I'm following what i learned from tutorial but no success.
public class ScrabblePlayer {
// A String representing all of the tiles that this player has
private String tiles;
private String hits;
private String misses;
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 isTile = tiles.indexOf('z') != -1;
if(isTile){
hits += tile;
} else {
misses += tile;
}
return true;
}
}

and can simply return this:
return tiles.indexOf(tile) != -1;
