Checking Endianness
Practice memory manipulation by writing code to automatically detect the endianness.
We'll cover the following...
Introduction
Recall that code that exploits a particular endianness format is not compatible with code written for systems with a different endianness format.
Therefore, to make our code portable, we may want to detect the endianness of a system and support both formats.
That said, we need to know how we can detect the endianness format of the current system.
Memory layout
Let’s consider the integer in ...
