Java Java Objects Creating the MVP Scrabble Tiles

srabble

Bummer! Hmmm, I added a new tile using addTile('y'), but hasTile('y') returned false..... i get this type of a saying. where did i get wrong?

ScrabblePlayer.java
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 += "t";
  }

  public boolean hasTile(char tile) {
    // TODO: Determine if user has the tile passed in
return tiles.indexOf(tile) != -1;
  } 

}

Hi!

It looks like your addTile-method will add a 't' each time you pass a character to the method. This means that your string of tiles will only contain t. So make sure that you use the right variable for adding to tiles.
