Is hp laptop prosesor little endian or big endian?

little-endian


Does Java support little endian or not?

There is little endian byte ordering support in Java found in the java.nio package (see ByteBuffer and ByteOrder class).


What is the use of little endian and big endian?

"Little Endian" means that the lower-order byte of the number is stored in memory at the lowest address, and the high-order byte at the highest address. For example, a 4 byte Integer Byte3 Byte2 Byte1 Byte0 will be arranged in memory as follows: Base Address+0 Byte0 Base Address+1 Byte1 Base Address+2 Byte2 Base Address+3 Byte3 Intel processors (those used in PC's) use "Little Endian" byte order. "Big Endian" means that the high-order byte of the number is stored in memory at the lowest address, and the low-order byte at the highest address. The same 4 byte integer would be stored as: Base Address+0 Byte3 Base Address+1 Byte2 Base Address+2 Byte1 Base Address+3 Byte0 Motorola processors (those used in Mac's) use "Big Endian" byte order.


What is store word in MIPS instruction?

store word = sw in MIPS We use it in the following format sw regs, addr It stores the word in register regs to address addr.


To decide whether given processor is using little endian format or big endian format?

There are n no. of ways for determining endianness of your machine. Here is one quick way of doing the same.#include <stdio.h> int main() { unsigned int i = 1; char *c = (char*)&i; if (*c) printf("Little endian"); else printf("Big endian"); getchar(); return 0; } In the above program, a character pointer c is pointing to an integer i. Since size of character is 1 byte when the character pointer is de-referenced it will contain only first byte of integer. If machine is little endian then *c will be 1 (because last byte is stored first) and if machine is big endian then *c will be 0.
