Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 50,856 PointsHi Varun,
the challenge wants you to write the code more consise. Also, why do you add the tile in the hasTile method again? You already do this in the addTile() method. In the hasTile method you only want to check if the player has the tile. Your if statement would be correct, though.
You can shorten the code to this:
public boolean hasTile(char tile) {
return tiles.indexOf(tile) != -1;
}
Kind Regards, Florian
