The setInt32() method of DataView instances takes a number and stores it as a 32-bit signed integer in the 4 bytes at the specified byte offset of this DataView.

Try it

setInt32(byteOffset, value)
setInt32(byteOffset, value, littleEndian)

Parameters

byteOffset

The offset, in byte, from the start of the view where to store the data.

value

littleEndian Optional

Indicates whether the 32-bit int is stored in little- or big-endian format. If false or undefined, a big-endian value is written.

Return value

undefined.

Errors thrown

RangeError

Thrown if the byteOffset is set such as it would store beyond the end of the view.

Examples

Using the setInt32 method
