19,302 PointsNo, they do not want an if statement. They want what you are doing. I just ran it through the challenge. I changed the code to this:
return tiles.indexOf(tile) > -1;
That worked. It is possible, though, that the only problem with your statement is that you have a parenthesis where you should have a semicolon. >= 0 should work, but the > -1 definitely does.
