The task is to add/concatenate the tile (a char parameter) passed into the addTile method to the class field tiles, which is a string (a concatenation of chars).
The tiles field is private, but you can access it from the class' own methods without a getter. Second, access modifiers, like public and private are only needed on classes, methods, and fields, not on lines of code inside a method body. There's also no need for a mHand variable, so you can delete that.
Let me know if that helps you down the right path.
Let me know if you have any more questions!
