619 PointsString concatenation in java with respect to scrabble game.
For this first task, modify the addTile method so that it appends the tile that was passed in, to the player's tiles. Practice using the += shortcut method for string concatenation.
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
this.tiles = tiles;
tiles+= tiles;
System.out.println(tiles+ "" + tiles);
}
public boolean hasTile(char tile) {
// TODO: Determine if user has the tile passed in
return false;
}
}
