Question

: For each of the following words identify the bytethat is stored at lower memory address and the byte that is storedat higher memory address in a little endian computer.
a) 1234
b) ABFC
c) B100
d) B800

Answer 1

Answer:

In a little endian computer -The data's least substantial byte is put at the lower address byte. The remaining information will be put in memory in order in the next three bytes.

a)1234

4 is placed at the least significant bits,so this byte stored at lower memory address.

1 is placed at the most significant bits,so this byte stored at higher memory address.

b) ABFC

C is placed at the least significant bits,so this byte stored at lower memory address.

A is placed at the most significant bits,so this byte stored at higher memory address.

c) B100

0 is placed at the least significant bits,so this byte stored at lower memory address.

B is placed at the most significant bits,so this byte stored at higher memory address.

d) B800

0 is placed at the least significant bits,so this byte stored at lower memory address.

B is placed at the most significant bits,so this byte stored at higher memory address.
