28,694 Pointsthis is my guess:
public class ConferenceRegistrationAssistant {
public int getLineFor(String lastName) {
/* If the last name is between A thru M send them to line 1
Otherwise send them to line 2 */
int line = 0;
if(lastName.charAt(0) < 'N') { //assume capital letter
line = 1;
} else {
line = 2;
}
return line;
}
}
The important stuff is the use of char. (i could obviously make this code much more compact by returning inside the code blocks or using the ternary operator.)
