2 unusual facts about Bit numbering


ARINC 429

As such, the bit order of the octet access is the bit order of the accessing device, which is usually LSB 0; and serial transmission is arranged such that the least significant bit of each octet is transmitted first.

Bit numbering

ALGOL 68's elem operator is effectively "MSB 1 bit numbering" as the bits are numbered from left to right with the first bit (bits elem 1) being the "most significant bit" and the expression (bits elem bits width) giving the "least significant bit".
