Question:

The value represented by the hexadecimal number 5249 5343 5643 5055 is to be stored in an aligned 64-bit double word.

a. Using the physical arrangement of the first row in Figure A.5, write the value to be stored using Big Endian byte order. Next, interpret each byte as an ASCII character and below each byte write the corresponding character, forming the character string as it would be stored in Big Endian order.

b. Using the same physical arrangement as in part (a), write the value to be stored using Little Endian byte order, and below each byte write the corresponding ASCII character.

c. What are the hexadecimal values of all misaligned 2-byte words that can be read from the given 64-bit double word when stored in Big Endian byte order?

d. What are the hexadecimal values of all misaligned 2-byte words that can be read from the given 64-bit double word when stored in Big Endian byte order?

e. What are the hexadecimal values of all misaligned 2-byte words that can be read from the given 64-bit double word when stored in Little Endian byte order?

f. What are the hexadecimal values of all misaligned 4-byte words that can be read from the given 64-bit double word when stored in Little Endian byte order?
