How to convert an int to a little endian byte array?

Question

I have this function in C# to convert a little endian byte array to an integer number:

int LE2INT(byte[] data)
{
  return (data[3] << 24) | (data[2] &l         


        

Answer 1

You can use this if you don't want to use new heap allocations:

public static void Int32ToFourBytes(Int32 number, out byte b0, out byte b1, out byte b2, out byte b3)
{
    b3 = (byte)number;
    b2 = (byte)(((uint)number >> 8) & 0xFF);
    b1 = (byte)(((uint)number >> 16) & 0xFF);
    b0 = (byte)(((uint)number >> 24) & 0xFF);
}
