Hallo,
I am reading the CUPS book and found on page 131 in What are little- and big-
endian the following sentence:
Big-endian numbers are stored with rhe most-significant byte (high bits)
first: a 32-bit integer whose value is 1234 would be stored in memory as
the bytes 0, 0, 4, and 210.
If a transform 1234 to hex the result is 4D2. I understand the number 4 but
not 210. I have looked in the errata of the book, but I have found nothing.
