Obj C Declaring Char not working

In the challenge task asking me to create two char variables, alpha and bravo, I keep getting errors. I've tried typing it several ways, declaring and assigning the variables on the same line vs separate lines, but I'm not sure what's wrong here:

char alpha = "a"; char bravo = "b";

the problem is your double quotes. chars use single quotes, not double quotes.

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