title: Bitwise operators and "endianness"
body: <p>Does <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endianness" rel="noreferrer">endianness</a> matter at all with the bitwise operations? Either <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1036141/bitwise-not-operator-in-c-with-regards-to-little-endian-and-big-endian">logical</a> or shifting? </p>
  
  <p>I'm working on homework with regard to bitwise operators, and I can not make heads or tails on it, and I think I'm getting quite hung up on the endianess. That is, I'm using a little endian machine (like most are), but does this need to be considered or is it a wasted fact? </p>
  
  <p>In case it matters, I'm using C.</p>
