eg. int x[6] (array with 7 elements)

First, this is an array of 6 elements, not 7.

trying to make x[2] = &x[2]

but compiler says its an invalid conversion...

Yes, there is a problem. x[2] is an int. Whereas, &x[2] is the address of an int. The compiler distinguishes between an integer and the address of an integer.

There will be no way to make this conversion unless you lie to the compiler by saying the address of an int is an int. That will require a typecast.

Is this a homework assignment? I hope so since the conversion here makes no rational sense other than as an excercise.
