Re: binary conversion

Hi Niall,

In the example that you gave it,
you are converting an integer
into big and small endian right?

I guess what I tried to ask was
I have a 4 byte of data,
and it is not stored in ascci format
but rather in byte data only, so I have
to read in data as byte array like this...

byte num [] = new byte[4]

int i = dataInputStream.read(num);

, it is a byte array of data and not as an integer
and because the byte was in Big endian
format, I can't not convert it into a number
using Integer or String object at all,
it does not work, it produces unreadable character...
