Cannot Implicitly Convert type 'string' to 'char'

Question

_{Friday, March 31, 2017 2:03 PM}

I've hit a wall with my code and cannot seem to figure out how to fix this error. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

            char letter1 = "J";
            char letter2 = "U";
            char letter3 = "N";
            char letter4 = "E";

            Console.WriteLine("Welcome to the guessing game! ");
            Console.WriteLine();
            Console.WriteLine("Let the game begin! ");
            Console.WriteLine("Take a guess at the month I was born by entering letters below! ");
            Console.Write("Enter your first guess letter please: ");

Use simple quotes :

 char letter1 = 'J';

Character literal is specified using single quotes while string is using double quotes, either change the char to string while defining variable or use single quotes if you want to stick with char type.

So, either write:

char ch = 'A';

or:

string ch = "A";

Hope it helps!

Try this too:

*   string month = "JUNE";*

Then use expressions like month[0], month[1], etc., or month[i] to access the letters.
