Hi Zachary...

You make a little mistake on the return part of your newly created getCountOfLetter method. You should just return 0; instead fo return=0;.

 public int getCountOfLEtter(char letter) {//<- PS: please fix the LEtter typo to Letter
  //return = 0;<- This is wrong by doing this you've return a boolean type not int
   return 0;//<- you do not need the '=' when you want to return an int Java knows that
//that is what the error was talking about
  }

I hope this can help a little. Happy coding
