Invalid conversion error in C language

Question

I have this function:

HOTEL* delh(HOTEL *h  , int *n, int k)
{ 
    int i;
    HOTEL *p;
    for(i=k; i<*n-1; i++)
    {
        h[i]= h[i+1];
    }
    p = (HOTEL *)realloc(h, (*n-1)*sizeof(*p) );
    if (p==NULL) 
    {
        return p;
    }
    *n = *n - 1;
    return p;
}

Where Hotel is a struct.When I cal this function in main i got error: invalid conversion from 'int' to 'int*'| and error: initializing argument 2 of 'HOTEL* delh(HOTEL*, int*, int)'|. I did it in this way:

case 13:  
    printf("Enter position:  ");
    scanf("%d", &k);
    p = delh(h, n, k); //here is the error
    if (p == NULL)
    {
        puts("memory was not reallocated");
    }
    else
    { 
        h = p;
    }
    getch( ); 
    break;

Before this i create an array of struct variables.

the compiler obviously can't read your code because of the horrible indentation. — The Paramagnetic Croissant, Feb 14 '15 at 17:51
upfront it looks like n is `int n;` and what you need to pass is `delh(h, &n, k);` — Gopi, Feb 14 '15 at 17:51
`initializing argument 2`..seems obvious. Can you please cross check? — Sourav Ghosh, Feb 14 '15 at 17:52

Change:

p=delh(h, n, k);

to:

p=delh(h, &n, k);
