It's not.  It's a *very* basic C question.

More to the point, the int * case you attempted to use isn't a cast at
all.  But that's not your problem at all.  That's rather that you're
using the *entirely* wrong standard library function.  You didn't
seriously expect the same function (puts) to both output a text and
read user input, did you?

The kind of question you're asking here rather strongly hints that the
opposite of this is true.
