Description

Bits ordering in big and little endian.

"In little endian, the L.O. byte of an object appears at the lowest address in memory. In big endian, (RISC), the H.O. byte of an object appears at the lowest address in memory. The asm bswap instruction converts between the two data formats." Source = The art of assembly language, Volume 1 By Randall Hyde

Bits ordering in big and little endian.
