Explain high-order bytes.



Explain high-order bytes...

Answer / Komal Rani

High-order bytes refer to the most significant bytes in a multibyte value. In a 16-bit number, for example, the high-order byte is the first byte containing the highest bits. The exact meaning of 'high-order' depends on the endianness (byte order) of the system. Little Endian stores the least significant bytes at the lowest address while Big Endian stores them at the highest address.
