Trying to figure out how to approach converting signed endian numbers in java without using the built in functions or using bitwise/shift operators. I know it is possible but the math operations ive tried have not worked. Post or pm if you know a way - I will compensate you for your time. Thanks

from big to little endian ofc

I assume you dont have an array/string to do it on. so you basically wanna use arithmetic operators (+ - / *) instead of bitwise?

most straight forward way is to write a function that does each of the bitwise functions, find the solution using bitwise functions, then use the functions you wrote

of course, there might be more efficient ways to do it. but this should make it happen
