DataView.prototype.setFloat32()

The setFloat32() method stores a signed 32-bit float (float) value at the specified byte offset from the start of the DataView.

Try it

Syntax

setFloat32(byteOffset, value)
setFloat32(byteOffset, value, littleEndian)

Parameters

byteOffset

The offset, in byte, from the start of the view where to store the data.

value

The value to set.

littleEndian Optional

Indicates whether the 32-bit float is stored in little- or big-endian format. If false or undefined, a big-endian value is written.

Return value

Errors thrown

RangeError

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

Examples

Using the setFloat32 method

const buffer = new ArrayBuffer(8);
const dataview = new DataView(buffer);
dataview.setFloat32(1, 3);
dataview.getFloat32(1); // 3
