Node.js util.types.isInt32Array() Method

The util.types.isInt32Array() method of the util module is primarily designed to support the needs of Node.js own Internal APIs. It is used to check whether the passed instance in the method is a built-in Int32Array instance or not. 

Syntax:

util.types.isInt32Array( value )

Parameters: This method accepts a single parameter value that holds any value, i.e instance of any module. 

Return value: This method returns a Boolean value, i.e true if the passed value is an instance of Int32Array otherwise returns false. 

The below examples illustrate the use of util.types.isInt32Array() method in Node.js: 

Example 1:

javascript

// Node.js program to demonstrate the
// util.types.isInt32Array() method

// It includes util module
const util = require('util');

// Return false as passed instance is of map
console.log(util.types.isInt32Array(new Map()));

// Return true as passed instance is of Int32Array
console.log(util.types.isInt32Array(new Int32Array()));

Output:

false
true

Example 2:

JavaScript

// Node.js program to demonstrate the
// util.types.isInt32Array() method

// It includes util module
const util = require('util');

// Making an instance of Int32Array
// of size 2
const array1 = new Int32Array(2);

// Initializing the zeroth element
array1[0] = 42;

// Returns true as passed instance is of Int32Array
console.log(util.types.isInt32Array(array1));

// Making an instance of Int32Array
const array2 = new Int32Array([21, 31]);

// Returns true as passed instance is of Int32Array
console.log(util.types.isInt32Array(array2));

// Making an instance of Int32Array
const array3 = new Int32Array([21, 31]);

// Making another instance of Int32Array by
// passing an instance of Int32Array
const array4 = new Int32Array(array3);

// Returns true as passed instance is of Int32Array
console.log(util.types.isInt32Array(array4));

// Making an instance of Int16Array of size 2
const array5 = new Int16Array(2);

// Initializing the zeroth element
array5[0] = 10;

// Returns false as passed instance is of Int16Array
console.log(util.types.isInt32Array(array5));

Output:

true
true
true
false
