Byte Splitter Union Basics

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdint>
using namespace std;

// your code here: define a union ByteSplitter with uint16_t word and uint8_t bytes[2]
typedef union{
   uint16_t word;
   uint8_t bytes[2];
}ByteSplitter;

int main() {
   uint16_t val;
   cin >> val;
   ByteSplitter u;     // use your union
   u.word = val;       // assign value
   cout << "LSB=" << (int)u.bytes[0] << " MSB=" << (int)u.bytes[1];
   return 0;
