Byte-swap

Today I want to take a brief look at byte swapping from a different point of view. Many algorithms take mathematical concepts and turn them into a step-by-step process, but what if we turn it around, and mathematize a process that originates from computer science?

The idea of mathematizing computer programs is generally done within the context of the design of high-reliability systems and formal methods, which provide a way to prove that a program is correct. Perhaps if we took the time to ensure the correctness of the programs we write, then there wouldn't be so many bugs!
