1,853 PointsWhat am I doing wrong with my counter? It counts 8 instead of 1...
public int getTileCount(char tile) { int counter = 0; for (char letter : mHand.toCharArray()) { if(mHand.indexOf(tile) >= 0) { counter++; } } return counter; }

8,287 PointsInstead of using indexOf, what we are trying to do is check for a match. Here's what i did.
public int getTileCount(char tile) { int count = 0; for(char myTile: getHand().toCharArray()) { if(myTile == tile) { count++; } } return count; }
