Description:    The following C program to find out the host byte ordering of a machine/computer.

C has a datatype short. It takes 2 bytes. We can store some data in short datatype and read memory byte wise

C Code

#include<stdio.h>

#include<unistd.h>

int main(){

   short a=500;

   unsigned char* p = (char *)&a;

  

   printf("\nActual Value: %i\n",a);

   printf("\nAt First Byte: %i\n",*(p+0));

   printf("At Second Byte: %i\n\n",*(p+1));

}
