How to extract byte data with pointers in the C language?

In C language, data bytes can be extracted using pointers. The specific operation is as follows:

  1. Please provide a number.
  2. number
  3. pointer
int num = 12345678;
unsigned char *ptr = (unsigned char *)#
  1. I’m sorry, but I couldn’t find the original sentence that you would like me to paraphrase. Kindly provide the sentence so I can assist you with paraphrasing it.
  2. pointer
  3. just a number
unsigned char firstByte = *ptr;
  1. number
  2. pointer
unsigned char secondByte = *(ptr + 1);

Points to note:

  1. It is necessary to declare pointer variables with the appropriate type in order to access byte data correctly.
  2. To traverse through all the bytes of the data, one can use a loop structure to increment the pointer’s value each time and access the byte data.
  3. Attention should be paid to the issue of byte order (big-endian or little-endian) to ensure the correct parsing of byte data.
