Why is it showing error in the code?

My code is correct and still, I receive bummer in my code

ScrabblePlayer.java 
public class ScrabblePlayer {
  // A String representing all of the tiles that this player has
  private String tiles;

  public ScrabblePlayer() {
    tiles = "";
  }

  public String getTiles() {
    return tiles;
  }

  public void addTile(char tile) {
    // TODO: Add the tile to tiles
   tiles+=tile;
  }

  public boolean hasTile(char tile) {
    boolean result = tiles.indexOf(tile) != -1;
    if(result==true){
    tiles+=tile;
    }
    return result;
  }

}

Craig is trying to get you to answer the code challenge in particular way. The code may well be technically correct but it wants a particular syntax.

"I'd like you to practice returning the result of the expression that uses the index of a char in a String."

I am returning the result of the same variable using the result of the index of char in the string, or not?
