creating an mvp

Can you please fill out the addTile method so that it takes the char that is passed and adds it to the mHand member field? Thanks!

Here is my solution where do i have an error

ScrabblePlayer.java 
public class ScrabblePlayer {
    private String mHand;

    public ScrabblePlayer() {
        mHand = "";
    }

    public String getHand() {
       return mHand;
    }

    public void addTile(char tile) {
       public getHand = mHand
      // Adds the tile to the hand of the player


    }

    public boolean hasTile(char tile) {
       return false;
    }
}

Basically your code is assigning a member variable to a method/function. What you want is to use the char that is being passed and assign it to the member variable. No need for an extra function.

That function is a getter which you would use if you wanted to obtain the value of the member variable for that instance.
