Hi Naomi,

If it's for sure that letterCode will have one and only one character, then no problem. But, if for some reason it had more characters it could messy. One way to mitigate this would be to use the string ToCharArray() method ( letterCode.ToCharArray() ), then load the first character of the array into the char variable, or simply load the first character of the string which should be a char ( letterCode[0] ).
