trying to make my own token . But i am getting an error while compiling

Question

pragma solidity ^0.8.6;

Type uint256 is not implicitly convertible to expected type address

Answer 1

So there seem to be a couple of problems with your code.

First of all, you pass 0 into Transfer() as an address but an address needs to be a 20 byte value in the form of 0x..... see here.

Secondly, as already pointed out in the comments, you are possibly missing the import statements for the contracts you want to inherit from (contract Token is ERC20Token, Owned {...).

Thirdly, you are missing the last curly bracket }.

I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to do with your code so maybe you have to be more precise with your question and the information you posted. However, I made you some sample code that works (and hopefully does what you aim for), to play around with

// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-3.0

pragma solidity ^0.8.11;

import {ERC20} from "https://github.com/OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-contracts/blob/master/contracts/token/ERC20/ERC20.sol";

contract Token is ERC20 {
  address owner;

  constructor () ERC20("MyToken", "MTK") {
    owner = msg.sender;
    _mint(msg.sender, 1000 * 10 ** 18);
  }

  function mint(address to, uint amount) external {
    require(msg.sender == owner, "Function must be called by the contract owner!");
    _mint(to, amount);
  }  
}
