Int32Array : ArrayBufferView

constructor iterable

Int32Array is similar to an Array where each item is a 32 bit (4 byte) signed integer. Int32Arrays cannot change size after creation.

Spec

Constructors

new Int32Array(length : Number) : Int32Array

Creates a new Int32Array of the specified length where each item starts out as 0

Example:

var x = new Int32Array(2);
x[0] = 17;
console.log(x[0]);
console.log(x[1]);
console.log(x.length);

Run

Results:

new Int32Array(array : Array) : Int32Array

Creates a new Int32Array and copies the items of array into this. The copied items are converted to 32 bit integers before being stored in this.

Example:

var x = new Int32Array([17, -45.3]);
console.log(x[0]);
console.log(x[1]);
console.log(x.length);

Run

Results:

new Int32Array(array : Int32Array) : Int32Array

Creates a new Int32Array and copies the items of array into this. array can be any of the typed array types and the copied items will be converted to 32 bit integers before being stored in this.

Example:

var x = new Int32Array([17, -45.3]);
var y = new Int32Array(x);
console.log(x[0]);
console.log(x[1]);
console.log(x.length);
x[0] = -2;
console.log(y[0]); // y is not modified

Results:

new Int32Array(buffer : ArrayBuffer, [byteOffset = 0 : Number, [length : Number]]) : Int32Array

Creates a view on top of the specified buffer starting at byteOffset of length items. Changes to the items in this actual affect the underlying buffer, and vice versa. byteOffset must be a multiple of 4. (Use DataView for unaligned data.) If length is not specified, buffer.length - byteOffset must be a multiple of 4 and this.length will be (buffer.length - byteOffset) / 4.

Example:

var buffer = new ArrayBuffer(12);
var x = new Int32Array(buffer, 0, 2);
// Make another view of last 4 bytes of the buffer
var y = new Int32Array(buffer, 4, 1);
x[1] = 7;
console.log(y[0]); // y is a live view on the buffer
