Int16Array
The Int16Array
typed array represents an array of twos-complement 16-bit signed integers in the platform byte order. If control over byte order is needed, use DataView
instead. The contents are initialized to 0
. Once established, you can reference elements in the array using the object's methods, or using standard array index syntax (that is, using bracket notation).
Int16Array
is a subclass of the hidden TypedArray
class.
Constructor
Int16Array()
-
Creates a new
Int16Array
object.
Static properties
Also inherits static properties from its parent TypedArray
.
Int16Array.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT
-
Returns a number value of the element size.
2
in the case ofInt16Array
.
Static methods
Inherits static methods from its parent TypedArray
.
Instance properties
Also inherits instance properties from its parent TypedArray
.
These properties are defined on Int16Array.prototype
and shared by all Int16Array
instances.
Int16Array.prototype.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT
-
Returns a number value of the element size.
2
in the case of aInt16Array
. Int16Array.prototype.constructor
-
The constructor function that created the instance object. For
Int16Array
instances, the initial value is theInt16Array
constructor.
Instance methods
Inherits instance methods from its parent TypedArray
.
Examples
Different ways to create an Int16Array
js
// From a length
const int16 = new Int16Array(2);
int16[0] = 42;
console.log(int16[0]); // 42
console.log(int16.length); // 2
console.log(int16.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT); // 2
// From an array
const x = new Int16Array([21, 31]);
console.log(x[1]); // 31
// From another TypedArray
const y = new Int16Array(x);
console.log(y[0]); // 21
// From an ArrayBuffer
const buffer = new ArrayBuffer(16);
const z = new Int16Array(buffer, 2, 4);
console.log(z.byteOffset); // 2
// From an iterable
const iterable = (function* () {
yield* [1, 2, 3];
})();
const int16FromIterable = new Int16Array(iterable);
console.log(int16FromIterable);
// Int16Array [1, 2, 3]
