Question

I'm trying to figure out how to create a class ScrabbleGame.java that contains the two following methods:

The first method, SpelledIT, consists of the two strings StringTile and StringWord and determines whether tiles set can spell the word, returning true if so & false otherwise.

The second, doubloon, takes a string and checks whether it is a doubloon. Use the toLowerCase method before checking to ignore case.

Please use nested loops not arrays.

   public static void main(String[] args) {
       // TODO Auto-generated method stub
       // Some Example to Test Method
       System.out.println(SpelledIT("cenimatography","minato"));
       System.out.println(doubloon("abba"));
       System.out.println(doubloon("Shanghaiingss"));

   }
  
   public static boolean SpelledIT(String StringTile, String StringWord) {
       for(int i=0;i<StringWord.length();i++) {
   if(StringTile.indexOf(StringWord.charAt(i)) == -1) {

   StringTile = StringTile.substring(0,charLocation)
   + StringTile.substring(charLocation+1,StringTile.length());
   }
   }

   return true;
   }

  
   public static boolean doubloon(String checkDoubloon) {
      
       String lowerCheckDoubloon=checkDoubloon.toLowerCase();
       boolean check = true;

       for(int i= 0; i<lowerCheckDoubloon.length();i++){
       int count=0;

       if(lowerCheckDoubloon.charAt(i)==lowerCheckDoubloon.charAt(j)) count++;
       }
       if (count != 2) {
