Order bytes from most significant to least significant.

In this tutorial we will discuss on how to use the ByteOrder class for ordering bytes from most significant to a least significant.

Code:


import java.nio.ByteBuffer;

import java.nio.ByteOrder;



public class ByOrderDemo {



  public static void main(String[] args) {

    ByteBuffer byteBuf = ByteBuffer.wrap(new byte[6]);

    byteBuf.asCharBuffer().put("abc");

    System.out.println(toString(byteBuf.array()));

    byteBuf.rewind();



    byteBuf.order(ByteOrder.BIG_ENDIAN);

    byteBuf.asCharBuffer().put("abc");

    System.out.println(toString(byteBuf.array()));

    byteBuf.rewind();



   }



  static String toString(byte[] a) {

    StringBuffer strbuf = new StringBuffer();

    for (int i = 0; i < a.length; i++) {

      strbuf.append(a[i]);

      if (i < a.length - 1)

        strbuf.append(", ");

    }

    return strbuf.toString();

  }

}

Output:

0, 97, 0, 98, 0, 99
0, 97, 0, 98, 0, 99
