Description: <div style="text-align: justify;">In network programming Endianness is byte ordering used to store the data or to transmit the data over the medium. It is simply the method or protocol which decides which byte has to be stored at the lower order address and then the successive bytes storing in the memory. Generally the endianness is hardware dependent (there are few hardware where endianness is switchable) and there are two largely used methods viz. 1. Big Endian 2. Little Endian In Big endian notation, the most significant byte goes at the lower order address and the successive bytes take the higher order address places with lease significant byte at the most higher order place. Similarly, in Little endian notation, the least significant byte goes at lower order address and most significant byte at the higher order address. This video and the next video talk more about the endianness with some real life programming examples to explain how type casting of different length data works in big endian and little endian architectures. <br><br>Tags: endianness, big-endian, little-endian<br><br></div><br><style type="text/css">body { background: #FFF; } </style>
