Make a program that asks for the last name of the
user. Depending on their last name, make a statement about
how long they have to wait during roll call. You need to use
else ifs to make sure only one statement
gets printed.
Once you understand how compareTo() works, this is a
pretty straightforward assignment, much like
How Old Are You, specifically, except that it uses
Strings instead of
ints and so you must use the
compareTo() method.
"Carswell" or before: say "you don't have to wait long"
"Jones" or before: say "that's not bad"
"Smith" or before: say "looks like a bit of a wait"
"Young" or before: say "it's gonna be a while"
"Young": say "not going anywhere for a while?"
What's your last name? Stephanopolis It's going to be a while before we get to you, "Stephanopolis".
