Given the following number in 2 byte hexadecimal, ABCD, what is value of the in number in decimal if the number is read in as a big endian? Little endian?

Expert Solution

Step 1: Introduction

In computing, "big endian" and "little endian" are two byte order formats that determine the order in which bytes are stored in memory. In a big-endian system, the most significant byte is stored at the lowest memory address, while in a little-endian system, the least significant byte is stored at the lowest memory address. When converting a hexadecimal number like "ABCD" to decimal, the byte order matters, as it affects how the number is interpreted.
