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;
return line;
}
}

You may want to use charAt(0) -- this will get the first letter of the last name. You can use the < operator to compare the first letter of the last name this way.
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;
}
}
Hope this helps! If you're still having issues hit me up!

10,365 PointsOMG .... I tried the same code .... but M was without single quotes :)
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;
}
}
