Create the method and try to compare the parameter tile with the letter of the hand in a for each loop. If the condition is true, you declare an increment for the counter.

public int getTileCount(char tile){
int mCount = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < mHand.length(); i++) {
if(mHand.charAt(i) == tile){
mCount++;
}
}
return mCount;
}
