4,509 PointsFix the getLineNumberFor method to return a 1 if the first character of lastName is between A and M or else return 2 if
can you help me out ?

return lineNumber;
/*
lineNumber should be set based on the first character of the person's last name
Line 1 - A thru M
Line 2 - N thru Z

IMPORTANT: You can compare characters using <, >. <=, >= and == just like numbers

}
// This code is here for demonstration purposes only...
/*
Remember that there are 2 lines.
Line #1 is for A-M
Line #2 is for N-Z
*/
int lineNumber = 0;
/*
This should set lineNumber to 2 because
The last name is Zimmerman which starts with a Z.
Therefore it is between N-Z
*/
lineNumber = assistant.getLineNumberFor("Zimmerman");
/*
This method call should set lineNumber to 1, because 'A' from "Anderson" is between A-M.
*/
lineNumber = assistant.getLineNumberFor("Anderson");
/*
Likewise Charlie Brown's 'B' is between 'A' and 'M', so lineNumber should be set to 1
*/
lineNumber = assistant.getLineNumberFor("Brown");

41,120 PointsYou have two errors:
ConferenceRegistrationAssistant assistant = new ConferenceRegistrationAssistant();
The above line shouldn't be inside your class - you can delete it entirely for the purpose of this challenge.
(name =< 'M')
Should be <=
