arrays help !

The OP's code challenge appears to have been:

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".

It turns out that if you use double-quotes, it makes a string rather than a character. Therefore, the following is wrong (because it does not make a character, it makes a string literal):

char alpha = "a";

You'd want to do it like this:

char alpha = 'a';

I found the answer on Stackoverflow after a little Googling.

Jason Almenas , suppose I want to make a float array with a size of 5. I would do so like this:

float numbers[5];

// Remember that arrays are zero-indexed—they start at zero.
float[0] = 100;
float[1] = 200;
float[2] = 300;
float[4] = 400;
float[5] = 500;

'float's are like 'char's in that you can replace the word 'float' and put 'char' instead. So now you can take that code I made above and change the number from 5 to 2, since you need only two elements in the 'char' array.

Rather than adding a number like I did, you can add a 'char' through a variable name, like this:

letters[0] = alpha;

And so on. I'm trying to avoid answering the question directly, because I think it's easier to learn when you have to figure things out a little bit on your own.

I was about to make a post about the same question.

I understand how to create the two declarations in the first question, but if I am correct the second question in the Array 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"."

And I've very confused on what is being asked.

Oh I didn't see that you answered back, thanks a lot I appreciate the help along with not giving me the answer outright. :)

Wow, so I just got passed it. Apparently I should not have deleted the first answers to the Question 1. Once I reentered that above my Question 2 answer, I got it right. Thanks again for the help.
