# littleEndian

The little-endian representation of this integer.

```
var littleEndian: Self { get }
```

## Discussion

If necessary, the byte order of this value is reversed from the typical
byte order of this integer type. On a little-endian platform, for any
integer `x`, `x == x.littleEndian`.
