mHand = "";
}
public String getHand() {
return mHand;
}
public void addTile(char tile) {
// Adds the tile to the hand of the player
mHand += tile;
}
public boolean hasTile(char tile) {
return mHand.indexOf(tile) > -1;
}
}

8,176 PointsSo back to that ScrabblePlayer. I found that it's not enough to know if they just have a tile of a specific character. We need to know how many they actually have. Can you please add a method called getTileCount that uses the for each loop you just learned to loop through the characters and increment a counter if it matches? Return the count, please, thanks!

public int getTileCount(char theTile){
int count = 0;
for( char tile : mHand.toCharArray()){
if(tile == theTile){
count++;
}
}
return count;
We make a method called
getTileCountwith a parameter of a certain characterchar theTile.we make a counter variable to keep track of how many tiles are in the variable mHand
int count = 0;we use the foreach loop with
char tilebeing the variable within the loop, meaningtilewill be equal tomHand.toCharArray()mHand.toCharArray()get's the String stored in the mHand variable and makes each character in that string into an array of separate characters. So a string of Hello would be H, E, L, L, Owe check to see if the parameter being passed in is equal to all the tiles in the hand. Because remember
mHand.toCharArray() is now equal to tileif it is meaning that its in the hand increment count by 1 with
count++AFTER THE LOOP return the count so we know how many tiles were in the hand.
