Explain endianness (little and big) and its usage with respect to bitwise operators.

Question

Accepted Answer

Endianness refers to the order of bytes in multi-byte data types, affecting bitwise operations and data interpretation.

Little Endian: Least significant byte is stored first (e.g., 0x12345678 is stored as 78 56 34 12).
Big Endian: Most significant byte is stored first (e.g., 0x12345678 is stored as 12 34 56 78).
Bitwise operations (AND, OR, XOR) can yield different results based on endianness if data is interpreted incorrectly.
Example: In Little Endian, accessing the first byte of 0x12345678 gives 0x78, while in Big Endian, it gives 0x12.
