The Javascript Uint16Array represents an array of 16-bit unsigned integers in the platform byte order. By default, the contents of Uint16Array are initialized to 0. The Uint16Array.from() function is used to create a new Uint16Array from an array-like or iterable object. So when you want to convert an arrayLike or iterable object then you can use this function by passing the object as a parameter to this function along with the map function and value used for the map function if needed.
Syntax:
Uint16Array.from( source, mapFn, thisArg )
Parameters: This method accepts three parameters as mentioned above and described below.
Return Value: This method returns a new Uint16Array instance.
The below examples illustrate the Unit16Array.from() Method in JavaScript:
Example 1: This example shows the basic working of the Unit16Array.from() Method in JavaScript.
javascript
// Create a Uint16Array from a string
// like structure
let array = Uint16Array.from('543234543');
// Print the result
console.log(array);
Output:
5, 4, 3, 2, 3, 4, 5, 4, 3
Example 2: This example shows the basic working of the Unit16Array.from() Method in JavaScript.
javascript
// Create a Uint16Array from a array
// multiplying 3 to each number
// using function
let array = Uint16Array.from([32,
53, 122, 434, 213], z => z * 3);
// Print the result
console.log(array);
Output:
96, 159, 366, 1302, 639
