how to modify the addTile method so that it appends the tile that was passed in, to the player's tiles.

I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how I'm suppose to modify the addTile method so that it appends the tile that was passed in, to the player's tiles. I have tried many variations all to no avail. Someone please help!

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



  }

  public boolean hasTile(char tile) {
    // TODO: Determine if user has the tile passed in
    return false;
  }

}

Since tiles is a string and tile is a char you can add them together using string concatenation, that is by simply using the + operator on them. Like this:

tiles = tiles + tile;

Or as the task instructions allude to you can use a shortcut which looks like this:

tiles += tile;

That does the same thing.
