I am confused because of those term
1) Endian , Procuste( I don't know if the second term is correct because I tried to look it up but I can't find it)
a) Who/What
b) Origin. History
c) How applies to Simple Data type
This is my answer for the endian,
Endian
The order of bytes in a multi-byte value. It can also be the order of bits in a byte. Big-endian and little-endian are the common forms of endianness, and middle-endian is another.
endianness
(10) What is endianness of processor?
Ans:
If the size of data type is more than one byte then endianness decides the memory representation of data type.There are two type of endianness.
Little-endian: The processor which follow the following memory representation of data is known as little-endian processor.
First A will fill then B then C then D then E and so on from right to left.
Example of processor: 8085,8086,8088,80286,80386,p1,p2 etc.
Big-endian: The processor which follow the following memory representation of data is known as big-endian processor.
First A will fill then B then C then D then E from right to left.
