big-endian
Storing data in memory Address Contents
32-bit word: 4 bytes. 1000 01
Each byte has an individual address. 1001 23
Smallest addressable unit 1002 45
How many hexadecimal digits in each byte? 1003 67
Hex digit = 4 bits, so a byte can hold 2 digits. 1004  
How do we store the value 01234567hex? 1005  
One way: store the digits in order, 1006  
starting with the lowest address. 1007  
This is called big-endian, because the biggest-value
byte is stored first.
However, this means that the MOST-significant byte
has the LOWEST address.
