2,914 Pointsjava.util.NoSuchElementException: No line found
The scanner object cannot find the input that i am asking for....
import java.util.Scanner;
public class ConferenceRegistrationAssistant {
String lastName;
int lineNumber;
/**
* Assists in guiding people to the proper line based on their last name.
*
* @param lastName The person's last name
* @return The line number based on the first letter of lastName
*/
public int getLineNumberFor(String lastName) {
Scanner scanner=new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Please enter your last name: ");
String lastNameInput=scanner.nextLine();
if(lastNameInput.charAt(0)<='M'){
lineNumber=1;
} else {
lineNumber=2;
}
/*
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
*/
return lineNumber;
}
}
public class Example {
public static void main(String[] args) {
/*
IMPORTANT: You can compare characters using <, >. <=, >= and == just like numbers
*/
if ('C' < 'D') {
System.out.println("C comes before D");
}
if ('B' > 'A') {
System.out.println("B comes after A");
}
if ('E' >= 'E') {
System.out.println("E is equal to or comes after E");
}
// This code is here for demonstration purposes only...
ConferenceRegistrationAssistant assistant = new ConferenceRegistrationAssistant();
/*
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");
}
}

If you peek into the Example.java file, you will see the method is called with a String
passed into it already. This method you're designing is only to serve the purpose of sorting them into line 1 or 2!
Try removing the scanner, prompt, and string, and then for your if()
statement, pass in the parameter that is given in the declaration of the method.
