I am lost. Please help

I keep trying to write this code but I keep getting an error. I tried to google the error but no luck. Maybe someone can explain what I am doing 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) {
    tiles += tile; 
    // TODO: Add the tile to tiles

  }

  public boolean hasTile(char tile) {
    return tiles.indexOf(tile) >= 0; {
     return true;
} else {
    // TODO: Determine if user has the tile passed in
    return false;
  }

}

try check this part of your code this is totaly WRONG whre is IF ? and you dont neet ELSE if you return TRUE if if give you TRUE

public boolean hasTile(char tile) {
    return tiles.indexOf(tile) >= 0; {
     return true;
} else {
    // TODO: Determine if user has the tile passed in
    return false;
  }

also indexOf if true return number of match if not it returns -1
