599 PointsStuck on question.
""So back to that ScrabblePlayer. I found that it's not enough to know if they just have a tile of a specific character. We need to know how many they actually have. Can you please add a method called getTileCount that uses the for each loop you just learned to loop through the characters and increment a counter if it matches? Return the count, please, thanks!""
Bummer! The hand was "sreclhak" and 'e' was checked. Expected 1 but got 8.
I cant figure out why my code is producing an 8 for the count instead of the expected one. If someone could help me out with this I would appreciate it. Thanks.
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 letter){
int count= 0;
for(char letters:mHand.toCharArray()){
if(mHand.indexOf(letters)>=0){
count++;}
}
return count;
}
}

public int getTileCount(char tile) {
int count = 0;
for (char letter : mHand.toCharArray()) {
if (letter == tile)
count++;
}
return count;
}
