DataView.prototype.getInt16()
The getInt16() method gets a signed 16-bit integer
(short) at the specified byte offset from the start of the DataView.
Syntax
getInt16(byteOffset)
getInt16(byteOffset, littleEndian)
Parameters
byteOffset-
The offset, in byte, from the start of the view where to read the data.
littleEndian-
Optional Indicates whether the 16-bit int is stored in little- or big-endian format. If
falseorundefined, a big-endian value is read.
Return value
A signed 16-bit integer number.
Errors thrown
RangeError-
Thrown if the
byteOffsetis set such as it would read beyond the end of the view.
Description
There is no alignment constraint; multi-byte values may be fetched from any offset.
Examples
Using the getInt16 method
var buffer = new ArrayBuffer(8);
var dataview = new DataView(buffer);
dataview.getInt16(1); // 0
