Before reposting hundreds of times, you
should have looked for answers... my
answer arrived two minutes before your
third repost :-)

Btw.: You can also try to cancel your
posts if something went wrong !

What's wrong? "* * * * ... is not an integer.

Can you declare char variables? Of course

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
char a = '*';
std::cout << a;
}

However char variables hold a single char, I'm guessing you want a string.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

int main()
{
std::string a = "* * * * *\n";
std::cout << a;
}

The OP may also want a collection of characters terminated by a NULL,
IOW, a C style string:
#include <iostream>
using std::cout;

int main(void)
{
char ernie[] = "Ernie";
const char * const fred = "Fred";
cout << ernie << '\n'
<< fred << '\n';
return 0;
}
