It looks like you were adding the code to your constructor instead of method addTile(). You might reset your code and put the new code inside the addTile method.

and make sure that when you add your parameters for the method that it looks like this: public void addTile(char tile){}.

The " +" " inside the parenthesis with your parameters will throw an error; it requires a variable type and a name that you provide for it only.

public void addTile(char tile) { // Add the tile to the hand of the player mHand += tile; }

The concept is similar to string concatenation. Also your constructor seems to be wrong and that could produce an error. The code for your constructor should be:-

public ScrabblePlayer() { mHand = ""; //you initialise it to an empty string. }

As Jeremy & Talha pointed out you were trying to add a tile to your constructor which doesn't really work in this case. This example is trying to get you to use some of the methods mentioned in the previous video like "indexOf" to get boolean variables (true or falsies) from methods.

And using conditional statements to change the outcome of the "hasTile" methods.

The below is what worked for me, it reuses the answer from Task 1 in task 2.

See Below if you're stuck:

public class ScrabblePlayer {
    private String mHand;

    public ScrabblePlayer() {
      mHand = "";
    }

    public String getHand() {
      return mHand;
    }

    public void addTile(char tile) {
/*Task 1: adds the tile character to the 
member variable.*/
      mHand += tile;
    }

    public boolean hasTile(char tile) {
/*Task 2: Changes isTile from true or false 
depending on the indexof "mHand" is greater 
than 0.*/
      boolean isTile = mHand.indexOf(tile) >= 0;
      if (isTile) {
        addTile(tile);
      }
      return isTile;
    }
}
