As far as I know, arrays must have fixed size, so when you declare a new array you should specify the size of that array, and in this case you must declare an array of the size 26.

I think it goes somewhat like this :

Code 
char[] myArray = new char[26];

About the second point. Well, I know how to use a loop but I just don't know yet how to make it assign the Alphabet letters one by one as elements of myArray, so I hope someone else in here can help you with that :)

Good Luck

EDIT :
Well, after a little search in Google, I managed to come up with this :

Code 
public static void main(String[] args) {

  char[] myArray = new char[26];

  char c = 'a';

  for( int i = 0; i < 26 ; i++){

  System.out.println(c);

  myArray[i] = c++;

  }

    }

I hope this helps :)
