Hi Folks, A basic question about bits.
Scenario: an application is receiving a message. The message arrives as a stream of bits. The first bit received is 0. The second bit received is 1. The third bit received is another 1. ... The second-to-last bit received is 0. The last bit received is 0. The application stores the message in memory. Will the first bit received be in the lowest memory address and the last bit received in the highest memory address? I.e., Low memory address High memory address 0 1 1 ............................................................. 0 0 The message contains a series of bit fields. The specification for the message says the first field is two bits. Is the first field the bits 0 1 or the bits 00? /Roger
