'a' is a character. "a" is a string of size 1 ( contains 1 character ).

Yes "a" "b" "x" is considered strings since it has double qoutation marks in C++ you have to tell the compiler what data type you're using so doing char x = "a"; is char x = 'a'; string f = "x"; //No error

Also " are used with old C strings (arrays of chars) but it souldn't be larger than array size-1 (it adds an string-end \0 character)
