hi george...may b this will work
#include<stdio.h>
void main()
{
short a;
char *b;
a=0x3031;
b=(char*)&a;
printf("%c",*b);
}
a short int occupies 2 byte of memory.so lets assume a
occupies address 1000 and 1001.when u say
a-0x3031
if the processor is like intel processor (little or
big i donn remember) it will get stored as
1000th loc contains 0x31
1001th loc contains 0x30
so we wnat to know what byte stored in the starting
address of 'a'.inorder to do this we use a char
pointer to point to the strting address of a.so when
we acess the value at b we only get the byte stored at
starting address of a..so if it prints 1(0x31 is the
ascii value of charecter '1') its like intel
processor..if it prints '0 then its
not................regarda MAX
