you are not asked to make a char array named alpha, you are asked just for a char variable named alpha.Here is a hint: to create a char variable:

char someCharVariable = 'z';

when we apply the box brackets to a variable, then we mean to define an array, where as when defining a simple variable no box brackets[ ] are required. All character values are enclosed with in a pair of single quotes ' '

char alpha='a';

I hope you get it now....
