char c='a'; In this case variable c is a variable of type char (character) It represents a SNGLE character and it requires single quote marks (instead of doubles quote marks used in string type). It takes 1 byte of memory...

char ch = 'a'; char is the data type 'a' is the value, use single qoute marks (unlike in atrings which use double qoute marks) this is very basic explaination but i hope it's enough.

syntax : char var_name = 'x'; /* any character but must be assigned in single quotes*/ example : char ex_char = 'b';
