big-endian - Details

• 
  Key Concepts: 
  Big-endian is a term used to describe the order in which bytes are stored in memory. It is a type of byte ordering where the most significant byte (MSB) is stored first, followed by the second most significant byte, and so on. In big-endian, the MSB is stored at the lowest address. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Big-endian is used in SAP's BC-I18 Internationalization (I18N) component to store data in memory. This allows for efficient data access and manipulation, as well as improved performance when dealing with large amounts of data. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When dealing with big-endian data, it is important to remember that the MSB is stored at the lowest address. This can help you quickly identify and access the data you need.
