Error: While you could definitely solve this using an if statement, try returning the result of the expression.
I really don't get Why I am getting this error. I think I did everything right.
public class ScrabblePlayer {
// A String representing all of the tiles that this player has
private String tiles;
public ScrabblePlayer() {
tiles = "";
}
public String getTiles() {
return tiles;
}
public void addTile(char tile) {
// TODO: Add the tile to tiles
tiles += tile;
}
public boolean hasTile(char tile) {
// TODO: Determine if user has the tile passed in
if (tiles.indexOf(tile) != -1) {
return true;
}else {
return false;
}
}
}

231,248 PointsThe message is acknowledging that your code would work, but they want you to solve it in a more concise way.
They are giving you the hint: "try returning the result of the expression", which you can implement by having just a single "return" and instead of "true" or "false, give it it expression you used in the "if" statement.
