RE: union to get parts of integer

union MyUnion{
	int myInt;
	char myChar[sizeof(int)];
};

void main()
{
	MyUnion m;
	m.myInt = 0x01020304;
	printf("value :%d\n",m.myChar[0]); // -> value : 4
	printf("value :%d\n",m.myChar[1]); // -> value : 3
	printf("value :%d\n",m.myChar[2]); // -> value : 2
	printf("value :%d\n",m.myChar[3]); // -> value : 1
}

Subject: union to get parts of integer

typedef struct {
char parts[4];
} node ;

int i=0x12345678

((node *)&i)->parts[0];
((node *)&i)->parts[1];
((node *)&i)->parts[2];
((node *)&i)->parts[3];

Is there any mechanism to split into bytes using the power of union ?
