i=300 // binary = 00000001 00101100
// in case of little Endien
it will be saved like this :-
00000001
00101100
//suppose int = 2 bytes and char = 1 byte
char *ptr = &i; // take care it *char *ptr* not *int* **ptr*....so what
will happen

*ptr will be pointing to 00101100

*++ptr // now ptr is pointing to 00000001 bcozz it is a char * hence it
will be increment by 1 byte
ptr=2 // now 00000001 will be converted to 00000010

so final value of i becomes 0000001000101100 = 556

now you can try for big endian ....
