The "invalid conversion from into to int*" ​error is encountered when an integer [pointer](https://www.educative.io/edpresso/what-are-pointers-in-c) is ​assigned an integer value.

>Remember: pointers are used to store the address of a particular variable.

## Code
### Error
In the code below, when we try to assign an integer value (i.e., *p* ) to an integer pointer,​ it throws an error.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
  int p = 20;
  int* ptr;
  ptr = p; //Invalid conversion.
}

​### Correct way

To resolve this error, assign the address of the variable *p* by using the `&` symbol.


```c++
 int p = 20;
 int* ptr;
 ptr = &p; 
```

>The `&` symbol is used to return the address of a particular variable.
