Little endian and Big Endian

Byte order is reversed, in Little Endian, most significant byte is written in RHS
and least Significant on LHS
in Big Endian, least significant byte is written in RHS and most Significant on LHS

Example

dw 5
BE:0005
LE:0500
dw 0A0Bh
BE: 0A0B
LE: 0B0A
dd: 0A0B0C0D
BE: 0A0B0C0D
LE: 0D0C0B0A

The data is written in Memory in Litte Endian for

Example:

num1: dd 0A0B0C0D

In memory it will look like 0D0C0B0A, and num1 is actually the address with 0D is
located.
Therefore when we write mov ax, [num1], two bytes are loaded in ax, starting from
address num1.
The least significant byte i.e. 0D will be loaded in AL and 0C will be loaded in
AH.
