line 8
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 */

21,073 PointsYou don't have to use ".chars" as a property, the "hint" is telling you that characters can be compared with those operators. You can use the method "str.charAt(0)" to see if the strings starts with a given letter:
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;
}
}
I hope that helps a little bit.

29,567 PointsYou do not need to keep declaring the variable every time you write it. If you use a local variable inside a method just declare and initialize it once like: int line = 0; Then afterwards within the same method you can just write: line = 2; for example.
