iOS Objective-C Basics (Retired) Fundamentals of C Arrays

Array Variables

Hi, i am having trouble understanding why this is incorrect , and i have tried it multiple ways in xcode and it compiles perfectly to what the question is asking, can anyone see an issue with my code ?

include <stdio.h>

int main() {

char alpha[] = {'a'};

alpha[0] = 'a';


printf("alpha %c\n", alpha[0]);



char bravo[] = {'b'};

alpha[0] = 'b';


printf("bravo %c\n", bravo[0]);

return 0;

}

You do not need the square brackets in the variable declaration. A character is not an array.

char alpha = 'a'; char bravo = 'b';

Ahh thank you so much Taylor :)
