An ordering of bytes and bits in which the lowest-address byte and lowest-numbered bit are the least-significant (low) byte and bit, respectively Compare endian orientation, big-endian, low and high

A format for storage or transmission of binary data in which the least significant byte (bit) comes first See big-endian

A type of byte ordering (used by IBM-compatible personal computers) in which the most significant bytes are in the higher, or rightmost, storage locations for each multi-byte value Unlike big-endian, the number of byes in each value determines the exact ordering of the bytes For example, the four characters "UNIX" are stored as "NUXI" on a little-endian computer

A common difference between machines is the order in which they store the individual bytes of multi-byte numerical data A little-endian machine stores the lower-order bytes before the higher-order bytes See big-endian

A computer architecture that stores multiple-byte numerical values with the least significant byte (LSB) values first
