Host Byte Order

This C program uses a union containing a short integer and character array of the same size to determine the endianness of the system architecture. It initializes the short integer to 0x0102, then checks if the first character is 1 and second is 2 or vice versa to print "big endian" or "little endian", respectively. If the size of a short is not 2 bytes, it instead prints the size.
