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) >= 'A' && lastName.charAt(0) <= 'M') {
line = 1;
} else {
line = 2;
}
return line;
}
}
