71,830 PointsFor each last name you need to decide if line is 1 or line is 2:
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) < 'M') {
line = 1;
} else {
line = 2;
}
return line;
}
}
An easy way to tell is to look at the first character of each last name when it is passed to the function, using the charAt() method.
