DataView.prototype.setFloat64() - JavaScript | MDN
Try it
// Create an ArrayBuffer with a size in bytes
const buffer = new ArrayBuffer(16);
const view = new DataView(buffer);
view.setFloat64(1, Math.PI);
console.log(view.getFloat64(1));
// Expected output: 3.141592653589793
Syntax
js
setFloat64(byteOffset, value)
setFloat64(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-
Indicates whether the data is stored in little- or big-endian format. If
falseorundefined, a big-endian value is written.
Return value
Exceptions
RangeError-
Thrown if the
byteOffsetis set such that it would store beyond the end of the view.
Examples
Using setFloat64()
js
const buffer = new ArrayBuffer(10);
const dataview = new DataView(buffer);
dataview.setFloat64(0, 3);
dataview.getFloat64(1); // 3.785766995733679e-270
