10,900 PointsRegistration Assistant - 2 hours of effort... where have I gone wrong?
My brain hurts and I'm crosseyed from working on this. I feel like I'm close. Could you please help me with the finishing touches? What am I missing?
import java.util.Scanner;
public class ConferenceRegistrationAssistant {
public int getLineNumberFor(String lastName) {
int lineNumber = 0;
public promptForLastName() {
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter your last name: ");
String lastName = scanner.nextLine();
char lastInitial = lastInitial.charAt(0);
if (lastInitial > 'N') {
lineNumber = 1;
} else {
lineNumber = 2;
}
return lineNumber;
}
}
public class Example {
public static void main(String[] args) {
ConferenceRegistrationAssistant assistant = new ConferenceRegistrationAssistant();
lineNumber = assistant.getLineNumberFor("Zimmerman");
lineNumber = assistant.getLineNumberFor("Anderson");
lineNumber = assistant.getLineNumberFor("Brown");
}
}

10,900 PointsNevermind, I figured it out. I just needed 2.5 hours I guess. ;-)

2,141 PointsThis is the answer I got:
public int getLineNumberFor(String lastName) {
int lineNumber = 0;
if (lastName.charAt(0) <= 'M') {
lineNumber = 1;
} else {lineNumber = 2;
}
