CGX#16: Big Endian (Encoding, Training, CGX)

CGX: Binary Encoding BE
Hello future Hackers,

We hope you know binary now. But do you really?

Your task is easy Just convert a stream of zeroes and ones to ASCII, but it is big endian now.

Your solution for CGX#16: Big Endian
Answer

CGX#16: Big Endian

Everything is binary; just 0 and 1. But, it is a matter of taste if the ISA on your CPU has an endianness of LE(LittleEndian) or BE(BigEndian).


Imagine a nibble (4 bits) in LE and BE.

8421 (LE values of bits)

0001 == 1 (LittleEndian)

1248 (BE values of bits)

0001 = 8 (BigEndian)
