+Two common methods of byte ordering in multibyte scalar types are big-endian
+and little-endian in the execution environment[.](#1.sentence-1)
+
+Big-endian is a format for
+storage of binary data in which the most significant byte is placed first,
+with the rest in descending order[.](#1.sentence-2)
+
+Little-endian is a format for storage of
+binary data in which the least significant byte is placed first, with the rest
+in ascending order[.](#1.sentence-3)
+
+This subclause describes the endianness of the scalar types
+of the execution environment[.](#1.sentence-4)

+
+If all scalar types have size 1 byte, then all of endian::little,endian::big, and endian::native have the same value[.](#2.sentence-1)
+
+Otherwise, endian::little is not equal to endian::big[.](#2.sentence-2)
+
+If all scalar types are big-endian, endian::native is
+equal to endian::big[.](#2.sentence-3)
+
+If all scalar types are little-endian, endian::native is
+equal to endian::little[.](#2.sentence-4)
+
+Otherwise, endian::native is not equal
+to either endian::big or endian::little[.](#2.sentence-5)
