874 PointsI solved this using an if else statement, it prompts my approach is correct but expects a different approach.
Making this Hangman game inspired me to try to write one of my favorite board games, Scrabble. Can you help me using the skills you've learned from the course thus far? I've modeled a ScrabblePlayer and decided to store their tiles in a String
For this first task, modify the addTile method so that it appends the tile that was passed in, to the player's tiles. Practice using the += shortcut method for string concatenation.
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) {
// TODO: Add the tile to tiles
tiles += tile;
}
public boolean hasTile(char tile) {
// TODO: Determine if user has the tile passed in
boolean isTile = tiles.indexOf(tile) != -1;
if(isTile){
return true;
}else{
return false;
}
}
}

Just do what is asked:
return tiles.indexOf(tile) != -1;
