here's some ways to solve this challenge

public int getLineNumberFor(String lastName) {
      char firstLetter = lastName.charAt(0);
      return (firstLetter >= 'A' && firstLetter <= 'M') ? 1 : 2;
  }

public int getLineNumberFor(String lastName) {
    int lineNumber = 0;
    if ('A' <= lastName.charAt(0) && lastName.charAt(0) <= 'M') {
        lineNumber = 1;
      }
      if ('N' <= lastName.charAt(0) && lastName.charAt(0) <= 'Z') {
        lineNumber = 2;
      }
    return lineNumber;
  }

public int getLineNumberFor(String lastName) {
    int lineNumber = 0;
    if(lastName.charAt(0) > 'M'){
        lineNumber = 2;
      } else {
        lineNumber = 1;
      } 
    return lineNumber;
  }

public int getLineNumberFor(String lastName) {
    int lineNumber;
    String alphabet = "ABCDEFGHIJKLM";
    char firstLetter = lastName.charAt(0);
    if(alphabet.indexOf(firstLetter) != -1){
    lineNumber = 1;
    }else{
    lineNumber = 2;}
    return lineNumber;
  }
