i can't find where i am doing wrong on this challenge
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) {
tiles +=tile;
// TODO: Add the tile to tiles
}
public boolean hasTile(char tile) {
if (tiles = tiles.indexOf(tile) =>0){
return true;}
// TODO: Determine if user has the tile passed in
}
}

public boolean hasTile(char tile) {
if (tiles = tiles.indexOf(tile) =>0){
return true;}
// TODO: Determine if user has the tile passed in
}
For that method, all you want to do is return the true or false that results when you check if the tile passed in is in tiles list. If you go back to the video right before the challenge and start around 6:30 you can see how indexOf works, and how to write an expression that will return true or false. Good luck!

Python Web Development Techdegree Student 1,971 PointsThank you for helping. Here is what i came up with. public boolean hasTile(char tile) { boolean tile = tiles.indexOf(tile) !=-1; if(tile){tiles+=tile} else{tile=-1;} return tile;
I have the boolean return True at the end, but still, it seems like there is soemthing missing.
