Big Endian = 0x31014950
Little Endian = 0x50490131

However Using this Method

inline unsigned int endian         


        

Answer 1

Have you unit-tested your code?

On my platform, this passes:

void LittleEndianTest::testLittleEndian()
{
    unsigned int x = 0x31014950;
    unsigned int result = 
         (
             ( (x & 0x000000FF) << 24 ) + 
             ( (x & 0x0000FF00) << 8  ) +
             ( (x & 0x00FF0000) >> 8  ) +
             ( (x & 0xFF000000) >> 24 ) 
         );

    CPPUNIT_ASSERT_EQUAL((unsigned int)0x50490131, result); 
}
