c# switch problem

Question

I\'m new to programming and having a problem with the following code:

    private string alphaCoords(Int32 x)
    {
        char alphaChar;

        switch (         


        

Answer 1

After you declare the variable char alphaChar, you should "assign" a value to it (set it to be equal to something), even though you expect it to get a value in the switch statement.

You could assign it 'A' or '0' or pretty much anything.

You can do that in the declaration like this

char alphaChar = 'A';

Or you can do it separately

char alphaChar;    
alphaChar = 'A';
