LITTLE
const byte LITTLE =0;
- Description
- Little endian.
The values are stored in little endian format, i.e. the bytes
of the long word 0xAABBCCDD are layed out like 0xDD, 0xCC,
0xBB, 0xAA in memory. That is, data of arbitrary machine word
lengths always starts with the least significant byte, and
ends with the most significant one.

BIG
const byte BIG =1;
- Description
- Big endian.
The values are stored in big endian format, i.e. the bytes of
the long word 0xAABBCCDD are layed out like 0xAA, 0xBB, 0xCC,
0xDD in memory. That is, data of arbitrary machine word
lengths always start with the most significant byte, and ends
with the least significant one.
