In the second challenge task of scrabble.
public class ScrabblePlayer {
// A String representing all of the tiles that this player has
private String tiles;
private String hasTile;
public ScrabblePlayer() {
tiles = "";
}
public String getTiles() {
return tiles;
}
public void addTile(char tile) {
// TODO: Add tthe tile to tiles
tiles += tile;
}
public boolean hasTile(char tile) {
boolean hasTile = tiles.indexOf(tile) != -1;
if(hasTile){
return hasTile;}
else{
return false;
}
}
}

Craig Dennis uses an if else statement in the video because his applyGuess method has an additional step of adding the letter to isHit or misses.
public boolean hasTile(char tile) {
// TODO: Determine if user has the tile passed in
boolean hasTile = tiles.indexOf(tile) != -1;
return hasTile;
}
