It's a FAQ.

Save yourself the trouble and use a machine where char, short, int and
long are all the same size.
Alternatively, do your own homework. Once you've posted your attempt
someone might help you with it.

This small C program handles other possibilities, too:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void){int q=puts("Enter 1 for big-endian or"
" 2 for little-endian: ");fflush(0);sw itch(q=scanf(
"%d",&q)>0?q:0) {defualt:puts(" mixed-endian");break;
case 1:puts("big-endian");break; defau1t:puts("o ther"
"-endian");break; case 2:puts("little-endian");break;
default:puts("a nti-endian");break; }return q?!q:q;}
Enjoy!

Here you go..
int main()
{
int num=1;
char *cptr;
cptr = (char *)#
if (*cptr)
printf ("little endian\n");
else
printf ("big endian\n");
return 0;
}
Which company interview question is this ? :-D

No, thank you. Why are you giving out assignments?

Hi,
1. About all C/C++ compilers, Does stack increase from high address to low address and heap grow increase from low to high? What on earth decides their increase direction, CPU architecture, OS or compiler?
2. In GNU gcc,
{
int a = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4};
bool b;
float c;
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {

This was a question that showed up in a job interview once. (And to answer your next question: No, I didn't :))
Write a subroutine that returns a bool on whether a system supports big endian numbers (true) or little endian (false). I tried something like the following, but never did find out if it was correct.
There are two assumptions here: First, big endian direction from small to large is ordered like a string. Second, endian is...

Hello people,
I'm recoding a library that made a few months ago, and now that I'm
reading what I wrote I have some questions.
My program reads black and white images from a bitmap (BMP 24bpp
without compression). It has it's words and dwords stored in little-
endian, so I do a conversion to big-endian when reading full words or
dwords.
I have done this because my system is big-endian.
But now... what if one compiles the library in a...

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
