Third, you need to translate the hex from big-endian (least significant digital last) to little-endian (least significant digit first). You can do this with the `tac` command (or by hand if you prefer):

With that whole rigamarole, you'd know that you could translate the integer 1546288031 into an `04` opcode (to push four bytes onto the stack) followed by 9f7b2a5c (the little-endian hex representation of 1546288031).
If you instead had a negative number, you'd need to (1) do your calculations on the absolute value of the number, then (2) bitwise-| 0x80. For example, 9f7b2a5c, which is 1546288031, would become 9f7b2adc, which is -1546288031:
