| subject: | BIG VS LITTLE ENDIAN |
In a program I am writting I receive a 4-byte decryption key from an external source. I just found out that this key is to be treated as a big endian long integer. My question concerns the ordering of the bytes received so that I can properly use this value as a long integer in my little endian machine. If I receive the four bytes in the order: A B C D Is the proper way to rearrange these bytes: B A D C so that I can use the little endian long in my program? * KWQ/2 1.2i * --- FLAME v1.1* Origin: Port Chicago's Loading Dock - 510-676-5359 (1:161/204) SEEN-BY: 396/1 622/419 632/371 633/260 267 270 371 634/397 635/506 728 810 SEEN-BY: 639/252 670/213 218 @PATH: 161/204 42 215/34 270/101 396/1 633/260 635/506 728 633/267 |
