44. Packet Buffer Alias

In embedded systems, data packets from sensors or communication modules often use fixed-size byte buffers. You must create a type alias for a fixed-size byte buffer using the using keyword, then fill the buffer and print its contents as numeric values.

What you must do:

• Create a type alias named Packet
• This alias must represent an array of 8 bytes: uint8_t[8]

Program Input:

• You will receive exactly 8 integers
• Each value is in the range 0–255
• Values are separated by spaces

Processing Requirements:

• Define a variable of type Packet to store the data
• Read input values using a temporary integer array
• Explicitly cast each value into the uint8_t buffer

Important Note about uint8_t:

• In C++, uint8_t is typically an alias for unsigned char
• While std::cin reads numeric values correctly into it, std::cout treats it as a character type
• To ensure numeric output (e.g., 65 instead of 'A'), values must be cast to an integer type when printing

Example 1: Standard Input

Input:

65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72

Output:

65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72

Example 2: Boundary Values

Input:

0 255 0 255 0 255 0 255

Output:

0 255 0 255 0 255 0 255

Output Requirements:

• Print all 8-byte values as numeric integers
• Values must be separated by a single space
• No trailing space after the last value

Constraints:

• You must define the alias using the using keyword
• The alias must represent a raw array type
• Do not use std::array or std::vector
• Output must be numeric, not ASCII characters
