- Counting your opening and ending curly braces: you need one more at the end of the class, to match the opening brace from your class header.
- Your if statement is where things get tricky. You want to check if the indexOf the tile is greater than or equal to 0 (or, greater than -1.) This is a boolean (true or false logic) way of testing whether the value is in the mHand String or not, and if an index for that value is indeed in that String (certainly, if there is an index for that value in our String, it is 0 or greater!).
if(mHand.indexOf(tile) >= 0)
Hope this helps!
