Q3. What is Little endian and Big endian in C
Ans. 
Little endian and Big endian are byte ordering formats in which multi-byte data is stored in memory.
• Little endian: Least significant byte is stored at the lowest memory address.

• Big endian: Most significant byte is stored at the lowest memory address.

• Example: In Little endian, the number 0x12345678 is stored as 78 56 34 12 in memory.

• Example: In Big endian, the same number is stored as 12 34 56 78 in memory.

• There are two types of polymorphism: compile-time (method overloading) and runtime (method overriding).

• Example: Inheritance allows a child class to override a method from its parent class, providing different func
