Anyone know what this error means in Remix – Solidity IDE?
address public constant WALLET = "A_WALLET_ADDRESS";
TypeError: Type literal_string "A_WALLET_ADDRESS"
is not implicitly convertible to expected type address.

Best Answer
It turns out the address constant did not want a quoted string
The solution was:
address public constant WALLET = A_WALLET_ADDRESS;
If anyone can explain why, ill gladly accept the answer :)
I imagine its due to the strict type checking of Solidity variables. Giving
"0xValidAddress"
fails as its type is"string"
whereas0xValidAddress
passes the type check as a valid Ethereum address, therefore is allowed to pass on
