Java, For Each loop challenge

This is a bit silly, but I just can't seem to figure out why this isn't working.

For the Java Objects For Each loop challenge, I keep getting error: cannot find symbol in my if statement for the first 't' in "tile." I'm not sure why.

Any insight?

public int getTileCount() {
     int count;
    for (char handTile : mHand.toCharArray()) {
        if (tile == handTile) {
        count++;
      }
      return count;
    }
  }

I'm pretty sure you have to pass in a tile parameter in the method header.

So try public int getTileCount(char tile){ //body code }

Yup Alen is right. It's not asking how many tiles are in mHand, but how many tiles in mHand match the passed in tile.
