Converting an address type variable to payable address type throws me error [duplicate]

Question

I am trying to convert an address to payable address but I'm not able to do it. please find my code below:

address a = destinationAddress;
address dest =  address(uint160(a));
dest.transfer(amount);

Answer 1

You must be using solidity 0.5 or above compiler, just declare destinationAddress as payable : address payable destinationAddress, then you can directly use destinationAddress.transfer(amount);.
