setUint16

Summary

Sets the Uint16 value at the specified byte offset from the start of the view. There is no alignment constraint; multi-byte values may be set at any offset.

Syntax

dataView.setUint16(byteOffset, value, littleEndian);

testInt

Required. The Uint16 value that is returned from the method.

value

The value to set.

byteOffset

The place in the buffer at which the value should be retrieved.

littleEndian

Optional. If false or undefined, a big-endian value should be written, otherwise a little-endian value should be written.

Examples

The following example shows how to set the first Uint16 in the DataView.

var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
     req.open('GET', "http://www.example.com");
     req.responseType = "arraybuffer";
     req.send();

     req.onreadystatechange = function () {
         if (req.readyState === 4) {
             var buffer = req.response;
             var dataView = new DataView(buffer);
             dataView.setUint16(0, 9);
         }
     }

Remarks

These methods raise an exception if they would write beyond the end of the view.
