599 PointsStuck on tile counter problem.
I can't figure out how to start a counter every time a character matches and I've been trying forever. Any help is appreciated. 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(){
int tileCount = 0;
for(char tile: mHand.toCharArray){
if (tile >= 0){
tileCount++;}}
}
}

7,343 PointsYour code should look like this:
public int getTileCount(char tile) {
int count = 0;
for (char letter : mHand.toCharArray()) {
if (letter == tile)
count++;
}
return count;
}
