Converstion error from uint to int in Solidity

I have been trying to learn solidity.

Wrote a simple program as shown below

pragma solidity >=0.8.12 <0.9.0;

contract Test {
    int[] staticArray = [int(1), int(2), int(3), int(4), int(5)];

    function getStaticArray(int _pos) public view returns(int) {
        int ret = staticArray[_pos];
        return ret;
    }
}

But giving following conversation error for some reason:

TypeError: Type int256 is not implicitly convertible to expected type
uint256.

–> first.sol:13:31:

|

13 | int ret = staticArray[_pos];

| ^^^^

Which I am not sure why this error is thrown. Can anyone help me with it?

>Solution :

You have to use uint instead of int when you are using index in an array.

function getStaticArray(uint _pos) public view returns(int) {
    int ret = staticArray[_pos];
    return ret;
}
