Otherwise send them to line 2 */
int line = 0;

3,230 PointsOne hint: if you write ">"you just say greater than the specific char or number.
try ">=" which means equal & greater than he specific char or number.
this includes the 'A' and the 'M' which is a mission you have to accomplish aswell!
Also: check your "return" statements. If returned is evaluated by the compiler the method will be left ! "return" is always the exit of a method. So in your code:
int line = 0;
return line; // <--- Exiting the method...the rest won't be used. The following statements won't be read.
