1. v. Little-endian; LSB-first. Opposite of wrong-endian. Processors such as the DEC PDP-11 and VAX, the Intel 8080 and 80x86 series, and the MOS Technology 6502 are all right-endian.

1. v. Big-endian; MSB-first. Characteristic of a CPU which doesn't allow recasting of a pointer to a scalar type into a pointer to a scalar type of a smaller size and still retain the value. For example, a pointer to a 32-bit integer with value 666 cannot be recast to a pointer to a 16-bit value without changing the value (dereferencing the new 16-bit pointer rudely accesses the high 16 bits of the original 32-bit value, giving 0). The Motorola 680x0 series of processors used in Apple Macintosh computers are wrong-endian. cf. right-endian.
