What is wrong with this syntax ?

It gives me an error that says " reached end of file while parsing"

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

     if (mHand.indexOf(tile) >= 0)
   counter = tile;
    }

     public int getTileCount(char letter) {
     counter = 0; 
       for (char c: mHand.toCharArray()){
         if (letter == c) {
           counter ++;
         }
       }

       return counter;
     }
}

Hi Lorcan,

You have two methods for getTileCount, you really only need the one that accepts the char as the argument, when you reopen the challenge just do what you did in that method, loop through the array of chars and increase the counter if it matches with the passed in tile argument, also you will want to include int in front of your counter variable otherwise Java will get confused on what exactly you meant.

Besides that this looks well.
