No errors, correct formula, and yet here I am being told that it's not returning the proper line. I've also tried to set the integer of line to 0 and 1 instead of 1 and 2. That didn't seem to do the trick either. I've troubleshot my code until I couldn't any further. Somebody point out the small mistake I'm making for me xD thanks!
public class ConferenceRegistrationAssistant {
int line;
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') {
int line = 1;
} else {
int line = 2;
}
return line;
}
}

Also since you're dealing with the first letter of their last name, you should be using an uppercase M in your if statement condition.

Courses Plus Student 2,781 PointsI did both of these things but the website still returned "I entered Anderson and expected to get back line 1 as A comes before M." Even though I do know you are right about the "int" and the lowercase 'M." Now I'm totally blown away that it isn't working haha.
