Hello, the program does not allow me the return an integer during the method. How can I fix this problem?

''' 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 player mHand += tile; }

public boolean hasTile(char tile) { return mHand.indexOf(tile) > -1; }

public String getTileCount(char tile){ int myCount=0; for (char myTile:mHand.toCharArray()){ if (myTile==tile){ myCount++; } } return myCount; }
} '''

You are not allowed to return an integer because you have the return type of the method set as String, change it to int and your code should work.
