Endianness of ur own Machine !!!

Q. Write a program to identify the endianness of the machine you are working on.

Can anyone please tell me how to do it !!!

 

Here is the code.

Code:

bool is_bigendian()
{
	int i = 1;
	char *ptr = (char*)&i;	// Assign into 1 byte pointer
	return (*ptr == 0);	// Check if the 1 Byte is not having the value 1 which is assigned
}

 

Sorry, couldn't get that. Will u plz explain it properly. !!!

 

Its a couple of lines of code where each line is well explained.
