561 PointsScrabble Game : Don't know how why adding new tile is still returning false
I'm not sure how to get through this challenge. In the hasTile method, I'm getting an a prompt that say that they've tried to pass in char ('y') and it returns false. Not sure how to correct the HasTile method!
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
tiles += "tile";
}
public boolean hasTile(char tile) {
// TODO: Determine if user has the tile passed in
return tiles.indexOf(tile) != -1;
}
}

It should be tile += tile;
No quotes

public void addTile(char tile) {
// TODO: Add the tile to tiles
tiles += tile;
}
You have to call parameter tiles.
