Methods

Uint16Array.from( src[, map[, thisArg]] )

Creates a new typed array from an array-like object or an iterable.

var arr = Uint16Array.from( [ 1, 2 ] );
// returns <Uint16Array>[ 1, 2 ]

To invoke a function for each src value, provide a callback function.

function mapFcn( v ) {
    return v * 2;
}

var arr = Uint16Array.from( [ 1, 2 ], mapFcn );
// returns <Uint16Array>[ 2, 4 ]

A callback function is provided two arguments:

• value: source value
• index: source index

To set the callback execution context, provide a thisArg.

function mapFcn( v ) {
    this.count += 1;
    return v * 2;
}

var ctx = {
    'count': 0
};

var arr = Uint16Array.from( [ 1, 2 ], mapFcn, ctx );
// returns <Uint16Array>[ 2, 4 ]

var n = ctx.count;
// returns 2

Uint16Array.of( element0[, element1[, ...elementN]] )

Creates a new typed array from a variable number of arguments.

var arr = Uint16Array.of( 1, 2 );
// returns <Uint16Array>[ 1, 2 ]

Uint16Array.prototype.copyWithin( target, start[, end] )

Copies a sequence of elements within an array starting at start and ending at end (non-inclusive) to the position starting at target.

var arr = new Uint16Array( [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ] );

// Copy the last two elements to the first two elements:
arr.copyWithin( 0, 3 );

var v = arr[ 0 ];
// returns 4

v = arr[ 1 ];
// returns 5

By default, end equals the number of array elements (i.e., one more than the last array index). To limit the sequence length, provide an end argument.

var arr = new Uint16Array( [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ] );

// Copy the first two elements to the last two elements:
arr.copyWithin( 3, 0, 2 );

var v = arr[ 3 ];
// returns 1

v = arr[ 4 ];
// returns 2

When a target, start, and/or end index is negative, the respective index is determined relative to the last array element. The following example achieves the same behavior as the previous example:

var arr = new Uint16Array( [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ] );

// Copy the first two elements to the last two elements:
arr.copyWithin( -2, -5, -3 );

var v = arr[ 3 ];
// returns 1

v = arr[ 4 ];
// returns 2

Uint16Array.prototype.entries()

Returns an iterator for iterating over array key-value pairs.

var arr = new Uint16Array( [ 1, 2 ] );

// Create an iterator:
var it = arr.entries();

// Iterate over key-value pairs...
var v = it.next().value;
// returns [ 0, 1 ]

v = it.next().value;
// returns [ 1, 2 ]

var bool = it.next().done;
// returns true

Uint16Array.prototype.every( predicate[, thisArg] )

Tests whether all array elements pass a test implemented by a predicate function.

function predicate( v ) {
    return ( v <= 1 );
}

var arr = new Uint16Array( [ 1, 2 ] );

var bool = arr.every( predicate );
// returns false

A predicate function is provided three arguments:

• value: array element
• index: array index
• arr: array on which the method is invoked

To set the callback execution context, provide a thisArg.

function predicate( v ) {
    this.count += 1;
    return ( v >= 1 );
}

var ctx = {
    'count': 0
};

var arr = new Uint16Array( [ 1, 2 ] );

var bool = arr.every( predicate, ctx );
// returns true

var n = ctx.count;
// returns 2

Uint16Array.prototype.fill( value[, start[, end]] )

Fills an array from a start index to an end index (non-inclusive) with a provided value.

var arr = new Uint16Array( 2 );

// Set all array elements to the same value:
arr.fill( 2 );

var v = arr[ 0 ];
// returns 2

v = arr[ 1 ];
// returns 2

// Set all array elements starting from the first index to the same value:
arr.fill( 3, 1 );

v = arr[ 0 ];
// returns 2

v = arr[ 1 ];
// returns 3

// Set all array elements, except the last element, to the same value:
arr.fill( 4, 0, arr.length-1 );

v = arr[ 0 ];
// returns 4

v = arr[ 1 ];
// returns 3

When a start and/or end index is negative, the respective index is determined relative to the last array element.

var arr = new Uint16Array( 2 );

// Set all array elements, except the last element, to the same value:
arr.fill( 2, -arr.length, -1 );

var v = arr[ 0 ];
// returns 2

v = arr[ 1 ];
// returns 0

Uint16Array.prototype.filter( predicate[, thisArg] )

Creates a new array (of the same data type as the host array) which includes those elements for which a predicate function returns a truthy value.

function predicate( v ) {
    return ( v >= 2 );
}

var arr1 = new Uint16Array( [ 1, 2, 3 ] );

var arr2 = arr1.filter( predicate );
// returns <Uint16Array>[ 2, 3 ]

If a predicate function does not return a truthy value for any array element, the method returns an empty array.

function predicate( v ) {
    return ( v >= 10 );
}

var arr1 = new Uint16Array( [ 1, 2, 3 ] );

var arr2 = arr1.filter( predicate );

• arr: array on which the method is invoked

To set the callback execution context, provide a thisArg.

function predicate( v ) {
    this.count += 1;
    return ( v >= 2 );
}

var ctx = {
    'count': 0
};

var arr1 = new Uint16Array( [ 1, 2, 3 ] );

var arr2 = arr1.filter( predicate, ctx );

var n = ctx.count;
// returns 3

Uint16Array.prototype.find( predicate[, thisArg] )

Returns the first array element for which a provided predicate function returns a truthy value.

function predicate( v ) {
    return ( v > 2 );
}

var arr = new Uint16Array( [ 1, 2, 3 ] );

var v = arr.find( predicate );
// returns 3

If a predicate function does not return a truthy value for any array element, the method returns undefined.

function predicate( v ) {
    return ( v < 1 );
}

var arr = new Uint16Array( [ 1, 2, 3 ] );

var v = arr.find( predicate );
// returns undefined

A predicate function is provided three arguments:

• value: array element
• index: array index
• arr: array on which the method is invoked

To set the callback execution context, provide a thisArg.

function predicate( v ) {
    this.count += 1;
    return ( v > 2 );
}

var ctx = {
    'count': 0
};

var arr = new Uint16Array( [ 1, 2, 3 ] );

var v = arr.find( predicate, ctx );
// returns 3

var n = ctx.count;
// returns 3

Uint16Array.prototype.findIndex( predicate[, thisArg] )

Returns the index of the first array element for which a provided predicate function returns a truthy value.

function predicate( v ) {
    return ( v >= 3 );
}

var arr = new Uint16Array( [ 1, 2, 3 ] );

var idx = arr.findIndex( predicate );
// returns 2

If a predicate function does not return a truthy value for any array element, the method returns -1.

function predicate( v ) {
    return ( v < 1 );
}

var arr = new Uint16Array( [ 1, 2, 3 ] );

var idx = arr.findIndex( predicate );
// returns -1

A predicate function is provided three arguments:

    return ( v >= 3 );
}

var ctx = {
    'count': 0
};

function fcn( v, i ) {
    str += i + ':' + v;
    if ( i < arr.length-1 ) {
        str += ' ';
    }
}

arr.forEach( fcn );

console.log( str );
// => '0:1 1:2 2:3'

The callback is provided three arguments:

function fcn() {
    this.count += 1;
}

var ctx = {
    'count': 0
};

var arr = new Uint16Array( [ 1, 2, 3 ] );

arr.forEach( fcn, ctx );

var n = ctx.count;
// returns 3

Uint16Array.prototype.includes( searchElement[, fromIndex] )

var arr = new Uint16Array( [ 1, 2, 3 ] );

var bool = arr.includes( 3 );
// returns true

bool = arr.includes( 0 );
// returns false

By default, the method searches the entire array (fromIndex = 0). To begin searching from a specific array index, provide a fromIndex.

var arr = new Uint16Array( [ 1, 2, 3 ] );

var bool = arr.includes( 1, 1 );
// returns false

When a fromIndex is negative, the starting index is resolved relative to the last array element.

// returns 0

v = it.next().value;
// returns 1

var bool = it.next().done;
// returns true

Uint16Array.prototype.lastIndexOf( searchElement[, fromIndex] )

Returns the index of the last array element strictly equal to a search element, iterating from right to left.

}

var arr1 = new Uint16Array( [ 1, 2, 3 ] );

var arr2 = arr1.map( fcn );
// returns <Uint16Array>[ 2, 4, 6 ]

A callback is provided three arguments:

• value: array element
• index: array index
• arr: array on which the method is invoked

To set the callback execution context, provide a thisArg.

function fcn( v ) {
    this.count += 1;

}

var ctx = {
    'count': 0
};

var arr1 = new Uint16Array( [ 1, 2, 3 ] );

var arr2 = arr1.map( fcn, ctx );

var n = ctx.count;
// returns 3

Uint16Array.prototype.reduce( fcn[, initialValue] )

    return acc + ( v*v );
}

var arr = new Uint16Array( [ 2, 1, 3 ] );

var v = arr.reduce( fcn );
// returns 12

If not provided an initial value, the method invokes a provided function with the first array element as the first argument and the second array element as the second argument.

If provided an initial value, the method invokes a provided function with the initial value as the first argument and the first array element as the second argument.

function fcn( acc, v ) {
    return acc + ( v*v );
}

var arr = new Uint16Array( [ 2, 1, 3 ] );

    return acc + ( v*v );
}

var arr = new Uint16Array( [ 2, 1, 3 ] );

var v = arr.reduceRight( fcn );
// returns 8

If not provided an initial value, the method invokes a provided function with the last array element as the first argument and the second-to-last array element as the second argument.

If provided an initial value, the method invokes a provided function with the initial value as the first argument and the last array element as the second argument.

function fcn( acc, v ) {
    return acc + ( v*v );
}

// Set the first two array elements:
arr.set( [ 4, 5 ] );

var v = arr[ 0 ];
// returns 4

v = arr[ 1 ];
// returns 5

By default, the method starts writing values at the first array index. To specify an alternative index, provide an index offset.

var arr = new Uint16Array( [ 1, 2, 3 ] );
// returns <Uint16Array>[ 1, 2, 3 ]

// Set the last two array elements:
arr.set( [ 4, 5 ], 1 );

var v = arr[ 1 ];
// returns 4

v = arr[ 2 ];
// returns 5

Uint16Array.prototype.slice( [begin[, end]] )

var bool = ( arr1 === arr2 );
// returns false

bool = ( arr1.buffer === arr2.buffer );
// returns false

var v = arr2[ 0 ];
// returns 1

v = arr2[ 1 ];
// returns 2

var arr2 = arr1.slice( 1 );

var len = arr2.length;
// returns 2

var v = arr2[ 0 ];

• arr: array on which the method is invoked

To set the callback execution context, provide a thisArg.

function predicate( v ) {
    this.count += 1;
    return ( v >= 2 );
}

var ctx = {
    'count': 0
};

var bool = arr.some( predicate, ctx );
// returns false

var n = ctx.count;
// returns 2

Uint16Array.prototype.sort( [compareFunction] )

Sorts an array in-place (thus mutating the array on which the method is invoked).

var arr = new Uint16Array( [ 2, 3, 0 ] );

// Sort the array (in ascending order):
arr.sort();

var v = arr[ 0 ];
// returns 0

v = arr[ 1 ];
// returns 2

v = arr[ 2 ];
// returns 3

By default, the method sorts array elements in ascending order. To impose a custom order, provide a compareFunction.

function descending( a, b ) {
    return b - a;
}

var arr = new Uint16Array( [ 2, 3, 0 ] );

// Sort the array (in descending order):
arr.sort( descending );

var v = arr[ 0 ];
// returns 3

v = arr[ 1 ];
// returns 2

v = arr[ 2 ];
// returns 0

The comparison function is provided two array elements, a and b, per invocation, and its return value determines the sort order as follows:

• If the comparison function returns a value less than zero, then the method sorts a to an index lower than b (i.e., a should come before b).
• If the comparison function returns a value greater than zero, then the method sorts a to an index higher than b (i.e., b should come before a).
• If the comparison function returns zero, then the relative order of a and b should remain unchanged.

Uint16Array.prototype.subarray( [begin[, end]] )

Creates a new typed array view over the same underlying ArrayBuffer and with the same underlying data type as the host array.

var arr1 = new Uint16Array( [ 1, 2, 3 ] );

var arr2 = arr1.subarray();
// returns <Uint16Array>[ 1, 2, 3 ]

var bool = ( arr1.buffer === arr2.buffer );
// returns true

By default, the method creates a typed array view beginning with the first array element. To specify an alternative array index at which to begin, provide a begin index (inclusive).

var arr1 = new Uint16Array( [ 1, 2, 3 ] );

var arr2 = arr1.subarray( 1 );
// returns <Uint16Array>[ 2, 3 ]

var bool = ( arr1.buffer === arr2.buffer );
// returns true

By default, the method creates a typed array view which includes all array elements after begin. To limit the number of array elements after begin, provide an end index (exclusive).

var arr1 = new Uint16Array( [ 1, 2, 3 ] );

var arr2 = arr1.subarray( 0, 2 );
// returns <Uint16Array>[ 1, 2 ]

var bool = ( arr1.buffer === arr2.buffer );
// returns true

When a begin and/or end index is negative, the respective index is determined relative to the last array element.

var arr1 = new Uint16Array( [ 1, 2, 3 ] );

var arr2 = arr1.subarray( -arr1.length, -1 );
// returns <Uint16Array>[ 1, 2 ]

var bool = ( arr1.buffer === arr2.buffer );
// returns true

If the method is unable to resolve indices to a non-empty array subsequence, the method returns an empty typed array.

var arr1 = new Uint16Array( [ 1, 2, 3 ] );

var arr2 = arr1.subarray( 10, -1 );
// returns <Uint16Array>[]

Uint16Array.prototype.toLocaleString( [locales[, options]] )

// returns 1

v = it.next().value;
// returns 2

var bool = it.next().done;
// returns true
