Java Java Objects (Retired) Creating the MVP For Each Loop

getTileCount challenge seems unclear/difficult to me, help?

So far I've added the getTileCount method and it should loop through... something. I'm not sure what characters "through the characters" refers to though.

ScrabblePlayer.java 
public class ScrabblePlayer {
  private String mHand;

// etc

  public int getTileCount(String mHand) {

    tileCount = 0;
    for (mHand.toCharArray()){
        tileCount++;
    }
      return tileCount;  
  }

//etc
}

Happy coding,

Lovely, got it working in the end. It wasn't clear to me that char searchingTile : mHand.toCharArray() essentially assigns each Char of the Array to searchingTile. The : just seemed very strange and out of place as usually = assigned things!
