Description

This project is the first assignment in the Computer Systems course. Its purpose is to enlarge my understanding of the representation of bytes in different computers.

There are 3 parts to this project:

• Write a function that tells if the computer you run this program on is using Big Endian represantaion or Little Endian representation. If it uses Big Endian, it will print 0. if it uses Little Endian, it will print 1.

• Write a function which receives an array of 8 bytes of boolean values, and calculate its decimal representation in Two's Complement.

• Write a function which receives an array of 8 bytes of boolean values, and calculate its decimal representation in Sign-Magnitude.
