The getFloat32()
method of DataView
instances reads 4 bytes starting at the specified byte offset of this DataView
and interprets them as a 32-bit floating point number. There is no alignment constraint; multi-byte values may be fetched from any offset within bounds.
// Create an ArrayBuffer with a size in bytes
const buffer = new ArrayBuffer(16);
const view = new DataView(buffer);
view.setFloat32(1, Math.PI);
console.log(view.getFloat32(1));
// Expected output: 3.1415927410125732
Syntax
getFloat32(byteOffset)
getFloat32(byteOffset, littleEndian)
Parameters
byteOffset
The offset, in bytes, from the start of the view to read the data from.
littleEndian
Optional
Indicates whether the data is stored in little- or big-endian format. If false
or undefined
, a big-endian value is read.
A floating point number from -3.4e38
to 3.4e38
.
RangeError
Thrown if the byteOffset
is set such that it would read beyond the end of the view.
const { buffer } = new Uint8Array([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]);
const dataview = new DataView(buffer);
console.log(dataview.getFloat32(1)); // 2.387939260590663e-38
