char vs string keywords in C#

string keyword

Use the string keyword to declare a string variable. The string keyword is an alias for the System.String class.

For example.

string name;
name = "Tom Hanks";

Another example.

string [] array={ "Hello", "From", "Tutorials", "Point" };

char keyword

The char keyword is used to set array of characters.

For example.

char[] ch = new char[2];
ch[0] = 'A';        // Character literal
ch[1] = 'B';        // Character literal

Another example.

char []letters= { 'H', 'e', 'l', 'l','o' };
