I have compared the letters by charAt method but still not getting the answer.
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 line1 = 0;
int line2 = 0;
char letter = lastName.charAt(0);
if(letter <= 'M') {
return ++line1;
} else {
if(letter > 'M') {
return ++line2;
}
}
}

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;
char letter = lastName.charAt(0);
if(letter < 'M') {
line =1 ;
}
else{
line=2;
}
return line;
}
}
Hope this helps.
