int类型数组压缩为char类型数组存储

本文以C++语言实现int数组压缩存储以及解压缩取出的例子。
原理：int类型数占16位，char类型占8位。int转为char默认保留低八位。

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
#include<cstdlib>
#include<ctime>
void pack(int a[], unsigned char b[], int n);
void unpack(unsigned char b[], int a[], int n);
void main()
{
    int i=0, n=0;
    cout << "输入n:";
    cin >> n;
    int c[100000] = {0};
    unsigned char p[100000] = {0};
    srand((unsigned int)(time)(NULL));
    for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
    {
        c[i] = rand() % 255;
    }
    pack(c, p, n);
    cout << "压缩数组：";
    for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
    {
        cout << p[i] << endl;
    }
    unpack(p, c, n);
    cout << "解压数组：";
    for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
    {
        cout << c[i] << endl;
    }
}
void pack(int a[], unsigned char b[], int n)
{
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
    {
        b[i] = a[i];
    }
}
void unpack(unsigned char b[], int a[], int n)
{
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
    {
        a[i] = b[i];
    }
}

char c1 =-1;
cout<< (int)c1 << endl;
输出为：-1
unsigned char c2 = -1;
cout << ( int)c2 << endl;
输出为：255
