I thought I followed the instructions to a tee:/ What am I missing?
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 playerad
// addTile+=mHand;
mHand += tile;
}
public boolean hasTile(char tile) {
if (mHand.indexOf(tile) > 0){
return true;
}
else {
return false;
}
}

Treehouse TeacherRemember 0 is the first index. I think you mean >= 0 (greater than or equal to 0).

1,342 PointsI saw that after and changed it, but it still gave me a compiler error. Do you mean to just return hasTile? public boolean hasTile(char tile) {
return hasTile;
