Differences Between Little Endian, Big Endian, Middle Endian, and Bi-endian

The article explains endianness (byte order), which defines how multi-byte data is arranged in memory and is determined by the CPU, protocol, and OS. Big Endian stores the most significant byte at the lowest address, while Little Endian stores the least significant byte first; Middle Endian uses an irregular arrangement, and Bi-endian systems can switch between both modes. Endian mismatches commonly cause issues in cross-system data exchange and binary analysis.
