What is a big-endian system and a little-endian system of binary representation?
Big endian is the convention of numbering bits, bytes, or words in memory or in registers in a left-to-right order, so that the leftmost, most significant item has the smallest offset or smallest address. The entire object is addressed by the address of its biggest (rightmost) end. TNS/R systems are big endian. Little endian is the convention of numbering bits, bytes, or words in memory or in registers in a right-to-left order, so that the rightmost, least-significant item has the smallest offset or smallest address. The entire object is addressed by the address of its little (rightmost) end.
