cant figure out how to proceed
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 */
char alphabetize = lastName.charAt(0);
int line = 0;
return line;
} if (alphabetize.lastName < 'N') {
return line = 1;
} else {
return line = 2;
}
}

Also when you initialized 'alphabetize' you had everything that you needed right there so if you say: if(alphabetize < 'N') that is all you need for your if statement; here is the code that I tweaked for you:
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 */
char alphabetize = lastName.charAt(0);
int line = 0;
if (alphabetize < 'N') {
line = 1;
}
else {
line = 2;
}
return line;
}
}
