Endianness refers to the sequential order used to numerically interpret a range of bytes in computer memory as a larger, composed word value. It also describes the order of byte transmission over a digital link. Words may be represented in big-endian or little-endian format, depending on whether bits or bytes or other components are numbered from the big end (most significant bit) or the little end (least significant bit). When addressing memory or sending/storing words bytewise, in big-endian format the most significant byte, which is the byte containing the most significant bit, is sent first...
