https://teamtreehouse.com/library/java-objects-2/creating-the-mvp/scrabble-tiles there is a link to the current challenge, task 2. I feel like I'm missing something basic but for the life of me I cant figure it out.
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 isTiles += "tile" ;
if ( isTiles) {
tiles += "tile";
}
return isTiles;
}
}

10,065 PointsYou need to check if the Char tile is in the String tiles. Using the indexOf method will return the index of the char passed in the string, or -1 if it is not found. So, the indexOf method will return zero or a positive number if your char tile is in the string tiles, or it will return -1 if it is not. Hope this helps.
public boolean hasTile(char tile) { if (tiles.indexOf(tile) >= 0) { return true; } else { return false; }
