How do I convert an integer to unsigned 32 bit big endian byte array

问题

I have an integer which represents a frame length. I would like to know how I can convert the integer to an unsigned 32 bit (4 bytes) big endian byte array in Java

回答1:

A big endian byte sequence is simply 'big numbers first'. But of course, converted into binary. So it's shockingly easy with almost any 'hex' conversion - that's the default output.

It depends rather which language you're intending to use, but sprintf is pretty common. The format string to do this is %X so in perl you'd have something like:

my $big_endian = sprintf ( "%X", 61613 ); 
print $big_endian;

little endian is more complex - it's reversing each byte (or pair of hex values).

Of course, specifics of what you're trying to accomplish depend rather more on which language you're working in - which you've neither specified, nor offered example code of what you've got so far.

In Java, integer is signed and big endian. Singed number are encoded in two's complement format. To convert a two's complement number to unsigned number, just follow the following rules:

If you want a unsigned representation, just following the rules to get the unsigned number. As the integer already in big endian, just split the result in 4 bytes.
