I wrote the following code:

 #include <iostream>
 #include <iomanip>
 #include <stdint.h>

 using namespace std;

 int main()
 {
     uint8_t c;

     cin  >> hex >> c;
     cout << dec << c;

     return 0;
 }

But when I input c—hex for 12—the output is also c. I was expecting 12. Later I learned that:

uint8_t is usually a typedef for unsigned char. So it's actually reading c as ASCII 0x63.

Is there a 1 byte integer which behaves as an integer while doing I/O and not as char?
