Sorry I thought since the posts were next-to-next, I thought of not pasting the entire paragraph. The paragraph to which it applies\
 is

"However, I see that (x & 1) on big-endian clearly abstracts the way 1 is laid out in memory and just takes the LS-bit of MS-byte a\
nd and-s with numerical 1 as if 1 was at the LS-bit of MS-byte like on little-endian machine."

But, here MS-byte shall be read as MS-address.

Thaks.
