I am in my first programming class, and am on my last program of the semester and I need a LOT of help. I have bascially taught myself thus far and well, am not doing so well. My professor gave the class a skeleton code for a scrabble program. I need to write 2 functions and edit a third. The first one is when given the tiles the user has and the word they wish to make, the function needs to determine if the user has the letters and return 1 if they do and 0 if they dont. I have no clue how to begin this. Can anyone help me?

thanks for your reply. i am confused as how to write that.i know this is not as difficult as im making this out to be, but for some reason, can not get past this. this is what i have for this section, however the function is not complete. -
// Get the word from the user to play.
-
printf("\nPlease enter a word you would like to form.\n");
-
scanf("%s", word);
-
-
//check to see if user has the letters to make the word
-
int valid(struct tile tiles[], char word[]);
-
//this is the function i need help with
-
-
-
// Check if the word is valid.
-
if (valid(tiles, word)) {
-
-
int x, y, direction;
-
-
// Get the location and orientation of the word to be placed.
-
printf("Where would you like to place the word?\n");
-
printf("Enter the starting row coordinate(0-14).\n");
-
scanf("%d", &x);
-
printf("Enter the starting column coordinate(0-14).\n");
-
scanf("%d", &y);
-
-
printf("Would you like the word going down(0) or across(1)?\n");
-
scanf("%d", &direction);
