storing a value from a pointer to a character

[rbeatajane123]

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	unsigned char las;
	unsigned char* pBuffer = "Hello";
	for(unsigned int i=0;i<6;i++,las = pBuffer[i])
	{
     cout<<pBuffer[i]<<endl;
	}
	return 0;
}

I was trying to understand an already implememnted program.I saw this type of las = pBuffer[i] and was trying it out myself whether that is possible.But that program is running without any error.

I'm getting an error in the above code as "cannot convert from 'const char [6]' to 'unsigned char *'"

What do i do to make it run.
Thanks in Advance.

What is an unsigned char?

int main() {
   char las;
   const char *pBuffer = "Hello";
   for( unsigned int i = 0; i < 6; i++, las = pBuffer[i] )
      cout << las << endl;
   return 0;
}

unsigned char will hold positive values as far my knowledge(0-255).
sorry i made a mistake in my code. The value i'm storing in pBuffer is "1234".

The program will won't print the H in Hello. The compiler should warn you about using las before it's been intialised.

Thanks MathHead200.
It runs when done as you told me to do.
