27,345 PointsI'm doing something wrong but can't figure out what
public int getTileCount(char tile) {
int tileCount = 0;
for(char tile: mHand.toCharArray()){
if (mHand.indexOf(tile)>=0) {
tileCount ++;
}
} return tileCount;
}
I keep getting the message that char tile is already defined but if I remove it from the () at the beginning, I get the question did you remember to prompt. I'm misunderstanding something.
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 tileCount = 0;
for(char tile: mHand.toCharArray()){
if (mHand.indexOf(tile)>=0) {
tileCount ++;
}
} return tileCount;
}
}

21,074 PointsI think it is because you are using the same name that the parameter has. You could do it like this:
public int getTileCount (char tile) {
int count = 0;
for (char tiles : mHand.toCharArray()) {
if (tile == tiles) {
count++;
}
}
return count;
}
I hope that helps
