Question

I’m writing a stack class in C# that behaves like an x86 stack (word padding, ability to push and pop different sized “objects”, etc.)

If I call Push<int>(0x01234567), the ASCII art below depicts what should happen. Is this big-endian or little-endian.

| 0x01 | 0x23 | 0x45 | 0x67 |  ---- Low Address  (New  top)
   |      |      |      \----> 0x67
   |      |      \-----------> 0x45
   |      \------------------> 0x23
   \-------------------------> 0x01
                               ---- High Address (Orig top)

Answer 1

The least significant byte (0x67) is in the lowest address, so little endian.
