Both little and big endian are still in use today. In big endian the most significant byte is the smallest address stored. In little endian the least significant byte is the smallest address stored.

If A word on a little-endian computer has the numerical value of 3 If it is transmitted to a big-endian computer byte by byte and stored there with byte 0 in byte 0 and so on what is its numerica?

In a 32-bit word, the decimal value 3 has hex value 0x00000003. Laid out in memory in a little-endian computer, it is 0x03, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00. If you move that to a big-endian computer without reversing the byte order, you get 0x03000000, which is decimal 50,331,648. The correct big-endian representation should have been 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x03.
