Chars objective 2

Hey Alexander,

It's actually alot more simpler than what you thought. Rather than creating a new boolean, we can just return the true or false value right away. It looks like this:

return mHand.indexOf(tile) >=0;

Here we check if we have the tile or not and then it will return a boolean value directly. You could store it as a boolean variable and then return that variable like you did. The only thing you did wrong was that you were returning false. If we have the letter in our mHands, we should be returning true shouldnt we? Also notice how you created a boolean variable but you never used it! instead of returning false, you shouldve returned the boolean variable you created. look at this:

public boolean hasTile(char tile) { 
      boolean hasTile = mHand.indexOf(tile) >=0;

   return hasTile;
    }

Like you did, we check if we have the tile or not and store that boolean in the hasTile variable. Then we can return that variable. This way works however returning it directly like the first example i did above is much more efficient

Hope that helped you!

Happy coding and best of luck,

Kevin
