    Question New to C: stumped on error

    Hi I am working on a program and have just one error left that I can not seem to get rid of. Take a look and let me know if you can help. Thanks!

    Code:
    #include "p24fxxxx.h"
    
    
    #define USE_AND_OR
    
    
    #include <uart.h>
    
    
    
    
    #define FCY      4000000
    #define BAUDRATE  9600
    #define BRGVAL   (FCY / BAUDRATE / 32 - 1)
    
    
    char string[] = {'\110', '\145', '\154', '\154', '\157', '\40', '\127',
                           '\157', '\162', '\154', '\144', '\041', '\000'};
    
    
    int main()
    {
    	// Configure UART2 for no interrupts at 9600 baud.
    	OpenUART2(UART_EN, UART_TX_ENABLE, BRGVAL);
    
    
    	// Include a reset of the RX flag as required.
    	IFS1bits.U2RXIF = 0;
    
    
    	putsUART2(unsigned int *string);
    
    
    	while (1);
    
    
    }
    the error is a syntax error "before 'unsigned'" on the second to last line of code

    Change this

    putsUART2(unsigned int *string);

    to this

    putsUART2(string);


    And you don't need to specify your string in octal, but could simply do this

    char string[] = "Hello World!";
