little-endian - Details

• 
  Key Concepts: 
  Little-endian is a type of byte order used in computer systems. It is the most common type of byte order used in SAP systems. In little-endian, the least significant byte (LSB) is stored first and the most significant byte (MSB) is stored last. This means that the data is stored in memory in reverse order from how it is written. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Little-endian is used in SAP systems to store data in memory. It is used by the BC-I18 Internationalization (I18N) component to ensure that data is stored correctly and can be read correctly by other components. The BC-I18 component also provides support for other types of byte order, such as big-endian and middle-endian. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When working with little-endian, it is important to remember that the data is stored in reverse order from how it is written. This means that when reading data from memory, you must read it from right to left instead of left to right.
