HELP WITH 2D PLATFORMER ERROR

Hi im making my first 2d platformer following a tutorial. i made a healthUI using similar heart system to Zelda hearts.

I finished my script for both player and the health HUD and im getting this error:

Assets/Scripts/HUD.cs(21,25): error CS0029: Cannot implicitly convert type `Sprite' to `UnityEngine.Sprite'

this is my code:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class HUD : MonoBehaviour
{
public Sprite[] HeartSprites;

public Image HeartUI;

public GameObject player;

void Start()
{
player.GetComponent<Player>();
}


void Update()
{
HeartUI.sprite = HeartSprites [player.GetComponent<Player> ().curHealth];
}


}

please help i really want to keep learning

 

Things you need to do

1. Don't use caps in the titles.
2. Put your codes into code tags (under insert on the comment toolbar)
3. Import UnityEngine.Sprite

 

Do you maybe have a script named 'Sprite' in your project?
