Daniel, maybe you are expecting to see your char printed on the screen, but I believe you didn't include a printf() statement in your code.

That is the correct way to instantiate a char. Where is the problem occurring?

Try

char alpha;
alpha = 'a';

Maybe the question was asking for a specific order? Declare variable then instantiate it?
