Question: Can you also please help me write out the hasTile method? It should return true if the hand has the tile, and false if it doesn't. Thanks!
My Code:
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 + mHand;
}
public boolean hasTile(char tile) {
if (indexOf(tile) >= 0) {
return true
} else {
return false;
}
}
}

Shouldn't you also need to call the indexof method on the mHand variable?
if (mHand.indexOf(tile) >= 0) ...
I don't think you need to have the condition >= 0 because if tile is not found in mHand, the return value is -1, which is false.
