When a char which is not present in the string is passed as an argument in getTileCount it is returning 1 in place of 0.
public class ScrabblePlayer {
private String mHand;
int count = 0;
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)
{
for(char Tile : mHand.toCharArray())
{
if(Tile == tile)
{
count++;
}
}
return count;
}
}

5,907 Pointsyoure missing the count variable
public int getTileCount(char tile)
{
for(char Tile : mHand.toCharArray())
{
if(Tile == tile)
{
count++;
}
}
return count;
}
```java

```java
// this works for me
public int getTileCount(char tiles){
int count = 0;
for( char tile : mHand.toCharArray()){
if(tile == tiles) count++;
}
return count;
}
```java

1,536 Pointscount variable is declared in the beginning of the class so declaring it later should not make any difference !
