@Lego: I am sorry I missed the "address of" operator... I wanted to type:
printf("%d", *(char *) &(0x00000002))

But even the above is incorrect since it is not possible to take address of
a literal in C/C++.
The best way is:
const int i=0x00000002;
printf("%d", *(char *) &(i));

If this print 2, then its little-endian else big-endian (there exists
mixed-endianness also, but lets leave that for now.)

--Sundeep.
