Initialization makes pointer from integer without a cast - C

Sorry if this post comes off as ignorant, but I'm still very new to C, so I don't have a great understanding of it. Right now I'm trying to figure out pointers.

I made this bit of code to test if I can change the value of b in the change function, and have that carry over back into the main function(without returning) by passing in the pointer.

However, I get an error that says.

Initialization makes pointer from integer without a cast
    int *b = 6

From what I understand,

#include <stdio.h>

int change(int * b){
     * b = 4;
     return 0;
}

int main(){
       int * b = 6;
       change(b);
       printf("%d", b);
       return 0;
}

Ill I'm really worried about is fixing this error, but if my understanding of pointers is completely wrong, I wouldn't be opposed to criticism.

To make it work rewrite the code as follows -

#include <stdio.h>

int change(int *b)
{
    *b = 4;
    return 0;
}

int main()
{
    int b = 6; //variable type of b is 'int' not 'int *'

    change(&b);//Instead of b the address of b is passed
    printf("%d", b);

    return 0;
}

The code above will work.

In C, when you wish to change the value of a variable in a function, you "pass the Variable into the function by Reference". You can read more about this here - Pass by Reference

Now the error means that you are trying to store an integer into a variable that is a pointer, without typecasting. You can make this error go away by changing that line as follows (But the program won't work because the logic will still be wrong )

int *b = (int *)6; //This is typecasting int into type (int *)
