922 Points2nd Array Question
The Quiz Asks: Declare an array of type 'char' called "letters" with a size of 2. Assign the variable "alpha" as the first element of the array "letters".
I thought the right way to code this would be:
char letters [2] {0, 1]; letters = 'alpha';
But that's not right. What am I doing wrong?

letters = 'alpha'
is the problem there. Also might want to fix the closed bracket at the end of your array to make it a curly bracket. Hope this helps

42,016 PointsDeclare an array of type 'char' called "letters" with a size of 2. all you have to do is declare it, not populate it so to declare an array with a specific size:
dataType arrayName[4];
in that case I gave it a size of 4
Assign the variable "alpha" as the first element of the array "letters". to assign a variable to an element of an array:
arrayName[1] = variableName;
in that case I assigned variableName to the second element in the array

922 PointsThanks for the help guys, actually it was entirely my fault but in a totally different way. I deleted my answers from Question 1, and because of that the answer kept coming up as wrong.
