+# endian enum
+
+Indicates the endianness of all scalar types.
+
+## Syntax
+
+```cpp
+enum class endian {
+    little = 0,
+    big = 1,
+    native = little
+ };
+```
+
+### Members
+
+|Element|Description|
+|-|-|
+| `little` | Indicates that scalar types are little-endian. That is, the least significant byte is stored in the smallest address. For example, `0x1234` is stored `0x34` `0x12`.  |
+| `big` | Indicates that scalar types are big-endian, that is, the most significant byte is stored in the smallest address. For example, `0x1234` is stored `0x12` `0x34`.  |
+
+## Remarks
+
+All native scalar types are little-endian for the platforms that Microsoft Visual C++ targets (x86, x64, ARM, ARM64).
