Append Big-Endian or Little-Endian Integers

Demonstrates how to append integers in big-endian or little-endian byte order to a BinData.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.77 or greater.

Go

    success := false

    bd := chilkat.NewBinData()

    // The hex value of decimal 123456789 is 0x075BCD15
    x := 123456789

    // Appending little-endian causes bytes to be
    // appended in the order 0x15, 0xCD, 0x5B, 0x07
    littleEndian := true
    success = bd.AppendInt4(x,littleEndian)

    fmt.Println(*bd.GetEncoded("hex"))
    // Output is: 15CD5B07

    // Now append the same integer in big-endian byte order.
    // Appending bit-endian causes bytes to be
    // appended in the order 0x07, 0x5B, 0xCD, 0x15
    littleEndian = false
    bd.AppendInt4(x,littleEndian)

    fmt.Println(*bd.GetEncoded("hex"))
    // bd now contains: 15CD5B07075BCD15

    // -------------------------------------------
    // Now do the same thing with 16-bit integers
    bd.Clear()

    // 1234 decimal = 0x04D2 hex.
    x = 1234

    littleEndian = true
    bd.AppendInt2(x,littleEndian)

    fmt.Println(*bd.GetEncoded("hex"))
    // Output is: D204

    littleEndian = false
    bd.AppendInt2(x,littleEndian)

    fmt.Println(*bd.GetEncoded("hex"))
    // Output is now: D20404D2

    bd.DisposeBinData()
