DataView.prototype.setFloat16() - 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
setFloat16(byteOffset, value)
setFloat16(byteOffset, value, littleEndian)
Parameters
byteOffset-
The offset, in bytes, from the start of the view to store the data in.
value-
The value to set. For how the value is encoded in bytes, see Value encoding and normalization.
littleEndianOptional-
