Below is the example of the dataView.setFloat64() Method.
- Example:
<script>varbuffer =newArrayBuffer(20);vardataview1 =newDataView(buffer, 0, 10);dataview1.setFloat64(1, 12.22);document.write(dataview1.getFloat64(1));</script>chevron_rightfilter_none - Output:
12.22
The dataView.setFloat64() is an inbuilt function in dataView which is used to store a signed 64-bit float value at the specified location i.e, at byte offset from the start of the dataView.
Syntax:
dataView.setFloat64(byteOffset)
Parameters: It has parameter byteOffset which is offset in byte i.e. from the start of the view were to read the data.
Return value: This function does not return anything.
Example 1:
Input: dataview1.setFloat64(1, 56.24); Output: 56.24
Example 2:
Input: dataview1.setFloat64(1, Math.PI); Output: 3.141592653589793
JavaScript code to show the working of this method:
Code #1:
<script> // Creating buffer with size in byte var buffer = new ArrayBuffer(20); // Creating a view var dataview1 = new DataView(buffer, 0, 10); // put the data 56.24 at slot 1 dataview1.setFloat64(1, 56.24); document.write(dataview1.getFloat64(1)); </script> |
Output:
56.24
Code #2:
The below code sets the value of PI using Math.PI and gives the output as the value of PI.
<script> // Creating buffer with size in byte var buffer = new ArrayBuffer(20); // Creating a view with slot from o to 10 var dataview1 = new DataView(buffer, 0, 10); // put the value of PI at slot 1 dataview1.setFloat64(1, Math.PI); document.write(dataview1.getFloat64(1) + "<br>"); </script> |
Output:
3.141592653589793
Code #3:
When there is no data to be stored then it gives the output as NaN i.e, not a number.
<script> // Creating buffer with size in byte var buffer = new ArrayBuffer(20); // Creating a view var dataview1 = new DataView(buffer, 0, 10); // putting no data at slot 1 dataview1.setFloat64(1); document.write(dataview1.getFloat64(1) + "<br>"); </script> |
Output:
NaN
