instances takes a number and stores it as a 16-bit unsigned integer in the 2 bytes at the specified byte offset of this DataView
.
Try it
Syntax

setUint16(byteOffset, value)
setUint16(byteOffset, value, littleEndian)
Parameters
byteOffset
-
The offset, in byte, from the start of the view where to store the data.
value
-

Thrown if the
byteOffset
is set such as it would store beyond the end of the view.
Examples
Using the setUint16 method
