Dear Student ,

As per the requirement submitted above , kindly find the below solution.

Here a new java program with name "main.java" is created, which contains following code.

main.java :

import java.util.*;//import package
public class Main //Java class
{ //main method
   public static void main(String[] args) {
   //creating object of Scanner class
   Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in);
   //asking user to enter name
       System.out.print("Enter name : ");
       String name=sc.nextLine();//reading name
       //calling method and passing nmae
       System.out.println(checkName(name));
      
   }
   //method to check user name
   public static String checkName(String name)
   {
   String play="";//variable to store playing state
   //getting first character from name
   char c=name.charAt(0);
   //checking name
   if(c>='A' && c<='L')
   {
   //if first character is from A to l
   play="user is playing the banjo";
   }
   else
   { //if name does not starts with A to L
   play="user is not playing the banjo";
   }
   //retrun
   return play;
   }
}

======================================================

Output : Compile and Run main.java to get the screen as shown below

Screen 1 :main.java, screen when name starts with A to L

Screen 2 :main.java, screen when name starts with other than A to L
