public int getTileCount(char specialTile) {
   int count = 0;
    for (char tile: mHand.toCharArray()) {
      if (tile == specialTile) {
        count++;
      }
    }
    return count;
  }

Took me forever to try and figure out before coming here. I'm new to Java so i'm still getting hung up on the way for-loops work compared to other languages and comparisons. This is a little different from the exercise we've been working in so the (tile == specialTile) which, in the exercise context would make more sense as (letter == tile), threw me off.
