This setBigInt64() method in Javascript is used to store a signed 64-bit integer (long long) value at the particular byte offset from the start of the DataView.
Syntax:
dataview.setBigInt64(byteOffset, val [, littleEndian])
Parameters: This method accepts three parameters.
- byteOffset: This parameter specifies the offset, in bytes, from the start of the view to read the data.
- val: This parameter specifies the value to set as a BigInt.
- littleEndian: This is an optional parameter. If it is true then indicates if the 64-bit int is stored in little- or big-endian format. If set to false or not-defined, then a big-endian value is read.
Return Value: This function does not return anything.
Example 1: In this example, the value set is 7 at offset 0.
Javascript
<script> var buffr = new ArrayBuffer(8);
var dView = new DataView(buffr);
dView.setBigInt64(0, 7n);
document.write(dView.getBigInt64(0));
</script> |
Output:
7
Example 2: In this example, the value set is 789 at offset 4.
Javascript
<script> // create an ArrayBuffer with a size in bytes
const buffr = new ArrayBuffer(16);
// constant value to set
const val = 789n;
const dView = new DataView(buffr);
dView.setBigInt64(4, val);
document.write(dView.getBigInt64(4));
</script> |
Output:
789
