Hey Everyone, I am completely new to ROS. I have a topic called Y that has a message named X containing several variables coming from an external source. The message file looks like:

Header header 
float64 a
uint8 b

How do I read/subscribe to this topic and store both a and b in separate variables? I don't mind a pythonic or a C++ solution to this issue

Create an object of the ROS Msg/Srv.
Use the dot operator.

Example:

#include "std_msgs/String.h"
std_msgs::String msg;
msg.data = "Hello World";
