The Atomics.sub() static method subtracts a given value at a given position in the array and returns the old value at that position. This atomic operation guarantees that no other write happens until the modified value is written back.
// Create a SharedArrayBuffer with a size in bytes
const buffer = new SharedArrayBuffer(16);
const uint8 = new Uint8Array(buffer);
uint8[0] = 7;
// 7 - 2 = 5
console.log(Atomics.sub(uint8, 0, 2));
// Expected output: 7
console.log(Atomics.load(uint8, 0));
// Expected output: 5
Atomics.sub(typedArray, index, value)
typedArray
An integer typed array. One of Int8Array, Uint8Array, Int16Array, Uint16Array, Int32Array, Uint32Array, BigInt64Array, or BigUint64Array.
index
The position in the typedArray to subtract a value from.
value
The number to subtract.
The old value at the given position (typedArray[index]).
TypeError
Thrown if typedArray is not one of the allowed integer types.
RangeError
Thrown if index is out of bounds in the typedArray.
const sab = new SharedArrayBuffer(1024);
const ta = new Uint8Array(sab);
ta[0] = 48;
Atomics.sub(ta, 0, 12); // returns 48, the old value
Atomics.load(ta, 0); // 36
