10,354 PointsWhy I get a bummer, when my code is working perfectly?
Look at my getTileCount() method, this function is working perfectly in my IDE, so why it isn't accepted here?
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 count = 0;
for(char letter : mHand.toCharArray()){
count++;
}
return count;
}
}

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