What will happen if you assign a static value to a pointer in C?

Question

In this example, what will it happen if I assign for example:

pk = 6;

Thanks!

Answer 1

You will get the following message in CS50 IDE: error: incompatible integer to pointer conversion assigning to 'int *' from 'int'.

In the code above, pk is a pointer to an integer, not an integer itself. Therefore, assigning an integer to it will give you a compile-time error.
