Hello! I am working on a class in C++, and one of its private members is : char answer { ' a ' };.

Whenever I try to compile, Visual Studio throws a C2397 error stating that conversion from int to char requires narrowing conversion.

Why is this occurring? Wouldn't ' a ' be considered a char?

As a note: The program compiled fine about ten minutes before these errors occurred. This was after changing the ' a ' from its original value of ' + ', as the + was causing the same compilation error..
