Courses Plus Student 8,091 PointsTrouble with Stage 3 code challenge (ConferenceRegistrationAssistant) for Java Objects course.
Hello everyone, I've been attempting to complement this code challenge for some time now but so far I've been unsuccessful.
Am I supposed to return a variable called line1 or line2 depending on the first character of the last name?
Or am I supposed return the string "line 1" or "line 2" depending of the character used?
I would really appreciate some help as I've tried everything I could think of.
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 line1 = 0;
int line2 = 0;
char fString = lastName.charAt(0);
if(fString > 'M') {
line2++;
return line2;
} else {
line1++;
return line1;
}
}
}

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 35,467 PointsHello, you want to first set a line variable and initialize it to 0; then throughout your code update the value of line. It'll look something like this. Let me know if I could be any of further help.
int line = 0;
if (fString > 'M') {
line = 2;
}
else {
line = 1;
}
return line;
}

Thank you so much.
