Can someone help show me where i went wrong? Declare 2 separate variables of type char named "alpha" and "bravo". Assign the letter 'a' to the variable "alpha" and the letter 'b' to "bravo".

char alpha[1]; alpha[0] = a; char bravo[1]; bravo[0] = b;

Hi Chaucer,

first you might want to use 'a' and 'b' with single quotations around them for the assignment because a and b would be interpreted as variables and second you don't need the square brackets behind alpha and bravo as the question states that you need a variable of type char and not an array.

And of course welcome to Treehouse, Chaucer Blake !

Kind Regards Holger

Hey Holger,

I can't thank you enough for that! I'm starting to feel the sense of community here at Treehouse because of you. Awesome advice.
