• Key Concepts: 
  Little endian is a type of data storage format used in computers. It is the opposite of big endian, which stores data in the opposite order. In little endian, the least significant byte (LSB) is stored first, followed by the more significant bytes. This means that when data is read from memory, it is read from right to left. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP systems, little endian is used in the BC-ABA ABAP Runtime Environment. This environment is responsible for executing ABAP programs and managing memory. Little endian allows for efficient data storage and retrieval, as well as faster execution of programs. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When working with little endian in SAP systems, it is important to remember that data is stored in reverse order. This means that when reading data from memory, it should be read from right to left instead of left to right.
