The dataView.setFloat64() is an inbuilt function in dataView that is used to store a signed 64-bit float value at the specified location i.e, at byte offset from the start of the dataView.
Syntax:
dataView.setFloat64(byteOffset)
Parameters: It has the parameter byteOffset which is offset in byte i.e. from the start of the view where to read the data.
Return value: This function does not return anything.
Below are examples of the dataView.setFloat64() Method.
Example:
javascript
var buffer = new ArrayBuffer(20);
var dataview1 = new DataView(buffer, 0, 10);
dataview1.setFloat64(1, 12.22);
console.log(dataview1.getFloat64(1));
|
Output:
12.22
Example 2:
javascript
var buffer = new ArrayBuffer(20);
var dataview1 = new DataView(buffer, 0, 10);
dataview1.setFloat64(1, 56.24);
console.log(dataview1.getFloat64(1));
|
Output:
56.24
Example 3: The below code sets the value of PI using Math.PI and gives the output as the value of PI.
javascript
var buffer = new ArrayBuffer(20);
var dataview1 = new DataView(buffer, 0, 10);
dataview1.setFloat64(1, Math.PI);
console.log(dataview1.getFloat64(1));
|
Output:
3.141592653589793
Example 4: When there is no data to be stored then it gives the output as NaN i.e, not a number.
javascript
var buffer = new ArrayBuffer(20);
var dataview1 = new DataView(buffer, 0, 10);
dataview1.setFloat64(1);
console.log(dataview1.getFloat64(1));
|
Output:
NaN
