So, what's the real reason that this happen (types doesn't mind).

Types do matter, you need to cast &h to an int* or use a pointer to char

[kevinchkin]

As the error states " You are trying to convert char * to int *"

use

char *p = &h;

Yes, i know that, but my question is because that, what's the way, i.e., why don't convert the letter to the integer of ASCII.

[Bazzy]

You want to get the ASCII value of '5' ?
You just need to convert the character in a different numeric type
eg:

char h = '5';
int i = h;
int j = '5'; // you can just assign the character literal to an integer

your p variable is a pointer on a integer, so later on with p=&h your trying to make it point on a char variable, which can not be done since its already an pointer on a integer ..
