Courses Plus Student 3,047 PointsStuck! Need Help!
I've been working on this for hours and can't find the answer. I need help on this question:
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".
Thank you!

16,395 PointsOK, thanks. Now please post your code that isn't working. I tried it based on the advise in the other post, and it worked. There is probably a typo or something small that is missing in your code.

Courses Plus Student 3,047 PointsWhat did you type to get it right?
Mike Bronner
16,395 PointsGiving the answer straight-away would defeat the purpose of learning. It's best to see what you're doing wrong first, and then understand what you need to do to get it right. Have you re-watched the video before the challenge?
Mike Bronner
16,395 PointsIt often helps to watch a video multiple times if you're stuck at the challenge to see exactly where you are going wrong.
Alexander Tuazon
Courses Plus Student 3,047 PointsYes. This is what I put: char alpha = 'a'; char bravo = 'b'; char letters[2]; letters[0] = alpha; letters[1] = bravo;
Mike Bronner
16,395 PointsOK, we can work with that.
You are declaring the alpha and bravo variables correctly. Why did you add the additional code? It didn't ask for that -- assuming you are on task 1 of the challenge (which your original post shows you are at). If you're still on task one, remove the extra code, and see if it likes it then.
Alexander Tuazon
Courses Plus Student 3,047 PointsIt works thanks!
Mike Bronner
16,395 PointsExcellent, Alexander! The challenge engine is very specific in what it expects each time you hit submit, so even though the code you had there wasn't wrong, it wasn't expecting it, so it failed your task.

16,395 PointsPlease post a link to the challenge. Also, it's not a good idea to post two different threads on the same topic. Better to continue the conversation in the original thread.
