How to check machine type i.e. little endian or big endian ?

Answer 1

Try with the following program which I found in some other question.

unsigned short num;
unsigned char * array;

num = 0xFF00;
array = (char *) num;
if(array[0] = 0x00)
{
   printf("littileEndian");
}
else
{
   printf("bigEndian");
}
