ConferenceRegistrationAssistant: not 100% sure what this code is asking me to do. I defined a Line 1 & Line 2

I'm not sure what I am supposed to do for this exercise. I defined a Line 1 & Line 2 and have the last names sorted accordingly. Can I please have some clarification on what I am supposed to do and how my code is wrong. Thanks!

ConferenceRegistrationAssistant.java 
public class ConferenceRegistrationAssistant {

  private String mLine1;
  private String mLine2;

  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 */

    if (lastName.charAt(0) < 'M') {
      mLine1 = mLine1 + lastName;
    } else {
      mLine2 = mLine2 + lastName;
    }

    int line = 0;
    return line;
  }

}
