declaring a const...

I'm writing a program that draws a calendar for the month based on info taken from the system clock. In the global declarations I have the following line which always gets a warning when compiled

const int monthdays[12] = {"31", "28", "31", "30", "31", "30", "31", "31", "30", "31", "30", "31"};

the warning I keep getting is
'initializing' : 'const int ' differs in levels of indirection from 'char [3]'

I don't understand why?!? :confused: isn't this just like declaring and initializing an array?

can someone explain.

Thanks
