The little endian breaks their egg on the smaller side. The big endian breaks their egg on the larger side.

It works similarly to an egg. But the fluids are memory instead.

Little endian

  • The LSB is stored first (leftmost)
  • The MSB is stored last (rightmost)

Big endian

  • The MSB is stored first (leftmost)
  • The LSB is stored `last (rightmost)
