Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 8,278 Pointsam I missing something here
I really don't know if I'm missing something I tried return tiles.indexOf(tile) >=0 and I get syntax error
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
if( tiles.indexOf(tile) >= 0){
return true;
}else{
return false;
}
}
}

You can technically do the task with an if statement but it won't be accepted by the challenge.
You must return something for the method. Try this instead:
public boolean hasTile(char tile) {
// TODO: Determine if user has the tile passed in
boolean trueTile = tiles.indexOf(tile) >= 0;
return trueTile;
}
Hope I helped and hope it makes sense. :)
