The getBigUint64()
method of DataView
instances reads 8 bytes starting at the specified byte offset of this DataView
and interprets them as a 64-bit unsigned integer.
Try it
Syntax
js
getBigUint64(byteOffset)
getBigUint64(byteOffset, littleEndian)
Parameters
byteOffset
-
The offset, in bytes, from the start of the view to read the data from.
littleEndian
Optional-
Indicates whether the 64-bit int is stored in little- or big-endian format. If
false
orundefined
, a big-endian value is read.
Return value
A BigInt
.
Errors thrown
RangeError
-
Thrown if the
byteOffset
is set such that it would read beyond the end of the view.
Description
There is no alignment constraint; multi-byte values may be fetched from any offset.
Examples
Using the getBigUint64
method
js
const buffer = new ArrayBuffer(8);
const dataview = new DataView(buffer);
dataview.getBigUint64(0); // 0n
