Byte Order Conversion

Byte order conversion refers to the process of changing the order of bytes in a multi-byte data type, such as an integer or floating-point number, to ensure compatibility between different computer architectures. This is crucial in tech as different systems use varying byte orders, known as endianness, which can lead to data misinterpretation when exchanging information between devices or networks, making byte order conversion a fundamental aspect of cross-platform development and data exchange.
