Cannot solve the problem.

I have tried to create an object in this task. I am calling a constructor of this class ScrabblePlayer. I passed the value "Amit" to this instructor and then tried to add the incoming character which is accepted by the variable tile in the "addTile" method. But I am not getting the answer. Please help. Thanks in advance

ScrabblePlayer.java 
public class ScrabblePlayer {
    private String mHand;

    public ScrabblePlayer() {
        mHand = "";
    }

    public String getHand() {
       return mHand;
    }

    public addTile(char tile) {
        // Adds the tile to the hand of the player
      ScrabblePlayer sb = new ScrabblePlayer("Amit");
      mHand = mhand + 'tile';
    }

    public boolean hasTile(char tile) {
       return false;
    }
}

I'm pretty sure that you don't need to create a new "ScrabblePlayer object so you can remove

ScrabblePlayer sb = new ScrabblePlayer("Amit");

Also you should look at what you are assigning to mHand in the addTile method. That seems to be where the problem is.

you simply forgot to add a return type to your method ,,scene it return nothing the return type will be void

public void addTile(char tile) { //your code }

and i think you shouldn't create an object in that method you can assign a value to your variable throw the constructor

public ScrabblePlayer(String Hand) { mHand = Hand; }
