DataView.prototype.getFloat16() - JavaScript | MDN
Try it
// Create an ArrayBuffer with a size in bytes
const buffer = new ArrayBuffer(16);
const view = new DataView(buffer);
view.setFloat16(1, Math.PI);
console.log(view.getFloat16(1));
// Expected output: 3.140625
Syntax
js
getFloat16(byteOffset)
getFloat16(byteOffset, littleEndian)
Parameters
byteOffset-
The offset, in bytes, from the start of the view to read the data from.
littleEndianOptional-
Indicates whether the data is stored in little- or big-endian format. If
falseorundefined, a big-endian value is read.
Return value
A floating point number from -65504 to 65504.
Exceptions
RangeError-
Thrown if the
byteOffsetis set such that it would read beyond the end of the view.
Examples
Using getFloat16()
js
const { buffer } = new Uint8Array([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]);
const dataview = new DataView(buffer);
console.log(dataview.getFloat16(1)); // 0.00001537799835205078
