| result | `Boolean</api/data_types/boolean>` | Returns `True</api/language/true>` if you are compiling for an OS that uses the Big Endian byte order. |

## Notes

Big Endian means that the high-order byte is stored in memory at the lowest address and the low-order byte at the highest address. Macintosh PowerPC uses the Big Endian byte order.
