ScrabblePlayer Java Object

Im unsure as to why this isn't working. It keeps telling me to add the method getTileCount that accepts a char. Any advice would be great.

Thanks

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 int getTileCount()
  {
    int counter = 0;
    for(char tile: mHand.toCharArray())
    {
      if(mHand.indexOf(tile) > 0)
      {
        counter++;
      }
    }
    return counter;
  }
  public boolean hasTile(char tile) {
   return mHand.indexOf(tile) > -1;
  }
}

You need to add "char tile" into your parameters of the method. The method declaration should look like this:

public int getTileCount(char tile)

Hi Christopher - According to your question, it sounds like getTileCount() needs to accept a char as an argument. Right now it doesn't have any parameters.
