28,694 Pointsthe method you want is:
public int getTileCount(char aChar){
int count = 0;
for(char toEval: this.mHand.toCharArray()){
if(aChar == toEval){
count++;
}
}
return count;
}
For an explanation, see Jennifer Nordell's answer at https://teamtreehouse.com/community/help-to-solve-code-challenge-also-please-explain-the-logic-and-thanks-in-advance . You can often find answers in the forum where people have put some real effort into explaining a solution.
