10,165 PointsSo back to that ScrabblePlayer. I found that it's not enough to know if they just have a tile of a specific character. W
The error says "Expected 1 but got 8"
public class ScrabblePlayer {
private String mHand;
public ScrabblePlayer() {
mHand = "";
}
public String getHand() {
return mHand;
}
public void addTile(char tile) {
// Adds the tile to the hand of the player
mHand += tile;
}
public boolean hasTile(char tile) {
return mHand.indexOf(tile) > -1;
}
public int getTileCount(char tile) {
int Count = 0;
for (char letter: mHand.toCharArray()) {
if (mHand.indexOf(tile) >= 0) {
Count++;
}
}
return Count;
}
}

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 35,467 PointsHey Luke,
The trouble with your code is the if statement.
Right now what it is checking to see if checking each character in the hand, and then doing another check to see if that character exists in the hand, which will always return true since we're first asking it first if the char at mHandArray[0] is contained in mHand array, which will be all correct, or all incorrect. as it will increment the count each time if it finds it.
Try to change your if statement to something like.
if (tile == letter) {
count++
}
Should fix the troubles, let me know if it doesn't, or if there's anything I can better explain.
