What is Endianness?ĭifferent languages read their text in different orders.
Some data (some English characters like a, e, i, o and u) can be represented by one byte, but some pieces of data take multiple bytes to be represented.īut endianness is a fundamental part of how computers read and understand bytes. From these simple pieces we can build incredibly complex connected computer systems to render videos, show text from around the world, and compute extremely complex algorithms.
This means that 0's and 1's make up the language computers work with.
